history |Biographical sketch
Nodyn | Note
William Moreton Condry was a naturalist and writer who lived and
worked in West Wales from about1946 until his death in 1998. He was
born in Birmingham on 1 March 1918. His father was a
craftsmanjeweller - a diamond setter - who took a great interest in
politics, being a pacifist and a member ofthe Independent Labour
Party, and both his parents were 'Clarionites', so named after the
paper runby the socialist Robert Blatchford. Following his primary
and grammar school education, he attendedBirmingham University,
graduating in 1939 in French, Latin and History, and obtaining a
teachingcertificate a year later. He spent the Second World War as
a conscientious objector, working in forestryin Herefordshire,
before graduating in French at London University in 1945. Some
years later he pursuedhis interest in French, researching Andre
Gide at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, and obtaining
aMaster's degree in 1951.Condry' s connections with Wales and his
interest in the countryside began at an early age through
familyholidays in remote parts of the Merionethshire coastal
district and Cader Idris. During his school days

he developed an increasing fascination with ornithology and
natural history, an enthusiasm shared byhis friend, Harold Wright,
with whom he surveyed the birds of North Worcestershire, and
undertookexplorations by bicycle of the remote upland regions of
Powys. It was in Wales that he met his futurewife, Penny, who was
warden of the Nanmor Youth Hostel in Snowdonia. The couple married
in 1946and lived successively near Ponterwyd, at Tal-y-bont, at
Glygyrog-ddu between Aberdyfi and Pennal,in Cwm Einion and finally
at Eglwys-fach near Machynlleth. After a season as youth hostel
wardens,they became involved in the work of the farmer and writer,
Ronald Lockley, who was one of the foundersof the West Wales Field
Society (later the West Wales Wildlife Trust), and early in 1947
they assistedwith the establishing of the Field Studies Council
Centre at Dale Fort. Later in the same year, Condryconducted a
survey of upland birds in mid-Wales and wrote a paper on his
findings for a scientific journal,The Naturalist.In 1949 he
embarked on a ten year teaching career at Lapley Grange,
Eglwys-fach, but he continued topursue his wildlife interests in
addition to his school work. From 1947 to 1956 he was the nature
wardenfor mid-Wales and edited the West Wales Field Society's Field
Notes. As a progression of that work,in 1955 he became one of the
co-editors of Nature in Wales, the journal of the West Wales
Naturalists'Trust. He and his wife, with others, expressed a
particular commitment to the preservation of the RedKite, becoming
members of the newly formed Kite Committee in 1949. In 1953 he was
involved withsetting up the Bardsey Bird and Field Observatory, in
which he maintained an interest for the rest of hislife, being
honorary secretary for eight years, then president, and finally, in
1990, honorary life president.His contributions to bird protection
in Wales were acknowledged when, in 1965, he was awarded theRSPB
Silver Medal. Towards the end of the 1950's, William and Penny
Condry were invited to live atYnys Edwin, one of the Ynys-hir
estate cottages, by the owner, Hubert Mappin, who was dedicated
tothe cause of nature conservation. Following Mappin's death, the
estate was purchased by the RSPB andCondry became its first warden
in 1969. In recognition of his work he was awarded an honorary
MSc.by the University of Wales in 1980. In addition to his
activities in the field, he was engaged in extensivelecturing,
broadcasting, committee work and literary pursuits.Over a period of
many years he was a member of numerous societies and committees,
including theBritish Trust for Ornithology (being the
representative for Cardiganshire for several years),
MerionethReserves Committee of the North Wales Naturalists' Trust,
the Nature Conservancy Committee for Wales,the Executive Committee
of the Council for Nature, the Education Sub-committee of the
Prince of WalesConservation Committee, Montgomeryshire Field
Society, the Council for the Protection of Rural Walesand the
National Trust.From his youth William Condry kept a series of
nature diaries in which he recorded his observations,and throughout
his career he continued to write, producing a large quantity of
books and articles,often illustrated with his own photographs. His
first book, Thoreau, was published in Witherby'sGreat Naturalists
series in 1954. Other works of which he was sole or co-author
include The Birds ofCardiganshire (West Wales Naturalists' Trust
1966), The Snowdonia National Park (Collins 1966), Birdsand Wild
Africa (Collins 1967), Exploring Wales (Faber 1970), Pathway to the
Wild (Faber 1975), TheWorld of a Mountain (Faber 1977), The Natural
History of Wales (Collins 1981), Snowdonia (David& Charles
1987), The National Trust, Wales (Gomer 1991), Wildlife in our
Welsh Parish (Eglwys-fach Women's Institute 1993), A Welsh Country
Diary (Gomer 1993), `The Vertebrate Animals ofCardiganshire' in the
Cardiganshire County History Vol. I (University of Wales Press,
Cardiff 1994),Wildlife, My Life (Gomer 1995), Welsh Country Essays
(Gomer 1996) and Wildlife Safari, the Lifeof Mary Richards
(published postumously by Gomer, 1998). He wrote widely on
conservation, and theWelsh landscape for magazines such as Country
Life, and he was greatly renowned for his `CountryDiaries' which
were published regularly in the Guardian between 1957 and 1998.

past and contemporary, including E. H. T.Bible, whose nature
diaries he acquired.William Condry died in Morriston hospital on 30
May 1998.
Hanes Gwarchodol | Custodial history
Following the initial transfer of William Condry's papers in
1998, Penny Condry has added some papersto the archive, such as
tributes and reviews of some of his books, which were published
after his death.
Natur a chynnwys | Scope and content
Natural history diaries, 1935-1998, field notes, 1952-1994,
typescript and published articles, 1947-1998,notes and
correspondence relating to his books, 1933-1998, and to various
natural history and historicalsubjects, card indexes, 1930-1998,
and printed pamphlets, papers and books relating to Henry
Thoreau,1943-1999. There are several files of general personal
correspondence, 1938-2016, including letters fromR.S. Thomas.
Inevitably, there are considerable overlaps between the various
subsections of the archive,since Condry's interests, professional
duties and literary activities were inextricably linked.
Additionalcorrespondence and papers, 1948-2015, including the file
of letters from R. S. Thomas and his wife Elsi,1968-1998, were
transferred to NLW in December 2015; a further letter, [c. 1946],
by William Condry toRay Perry, was donated in January 2016; and a
letter by Condry to his niece, Christine Demmar, enclosinga story
about a pet jackdaw, was donated in August 2016.

diariesDyddiad | Date: 1935-1940, 1944-1998 (dyddiad creu) | (date
of creation)
Natur a chynnwys | Scope and content:
The series comprises a complete set of nature diaries which
William Condry kept from his late teens,the only significant
omission being a deliberate one, during the years of the Second
World War. Theearlier diaries are almost exclusively concerned with
birds, noting the sightings, calls, nests, feedingand courtship
habits, and identifying features, with occasional sketches. A
gradual progression maybe seen, from about 1949 onwards, as Condry
developed his interest in other wildlife, and moreparticularly in
plants, recording their habitats, individual sightings and
identification, sometimesassisted by drawings. Species of birds,
mammals, insects and plants are usually underlined forclarity.
Accounts are given of daily events, meetings and places visited in
connection with Condry'sprofessional conservation duties and
literary work. Several of the diaries contain charts of birds
andbutterflies recorded at Ynys-hir. Weather conditions are
recorded throughout. Relevant enclosuresare frequent. Some of the
diaries have integral indexes, and it is evident from the other
papers in thearchive that the entries formed useful points of
reference for the preparation of books and articles.
