Biographical History
Sneyd Davies, poet, classical scolar and cleric, was the second son of Dr Davies, Rector of Kingsland, Herefordshire. He was born at Shrewsbury in 1709 and educated at Eton and King's College, Cambridge. While at Cambridge he formed lasting friendships with Charles Pratt, later to become Lord Camden, the Lord Chancellor, and Frederick Cornwallis, who became Archbishop of Canterbury. Under the terms of his father's will he inherited the living at Kingsland at the age of just twenty-two, and afterwards became archdeacon of Derby in 1755. He was also a Canon Residentiary of Lichfield Cathedral. He died in January 1769.
