John Meredith was born before 19 November 1758 at Kington; (presumably). He was baptized on 19 November 1758 at Kington. He was the son of Bridgewater Meredith. John Meredith was an ironmonger, inheriting his uncle Richard's business upon his death: he also inherited his father's woolstapling business in 1786, and ran a successful cloth business. The ironmongery made nails: Sunset Foundry was bought and built about 1820: a waterwheel on the Back Brook drove bellows, hammers etc. John was joined by his sons, John Jr. and James. In due course, local citizens became proud to be buried in nails, rather than wool. in 1779 at Kington. He married Mary James, daughter of Gwynne James, on 16 June 1785 at Kington. John Meredith died in 1823 at Kington; "The national school for girls and infants [in Kington] - situated on the North side of the Common close - was built in 1836... on a site of land given by the late John Meredith Esq." "1-5 Crooked Well (2-bedroom cottages) were built by Mr Meredith early in the Century for workmen."
