Joshua Pritchard Hughes (13 February 1847 – 8 April 1938[1]) was Bishop of Llandaff from 1905 to 1931.[2]
Hughes was born into an ecclesiastical family, the son of Joshua Hughes (Bishop of St Asaph 1870–1889).[3] His older brother was the geologist Thomas McKenny Hughes. He was educated at Shrewsbury School and Balliol College, Oxford and ordained in 1871. He was a curate in Neath from 1872 to 1877, vicar of Newcastle, Bridgend from 1878 to 1884 [4] and then Llantrisant from 1884 to 1905 [5] before his ordination to the episcopate.[6]
The Dahlia 'Bishop of Llandaff' was selected by him and named in his honour.[7]
