William Gardiner in Bangor Cathedral - early 19th Century
from Music and Friends: Or, Pleasant Recollections of a Dilettante, page 791:
...[A]t Bangor we dined with Dr. Warren, the dean. Here I heard the service in Welsh, and was soon convinced that it was a language unsuitable to music. In both cathedrals [Bangor and St. Asaph], the organists, and vicars-choral, were English, and at Bangor, I presume the stipends had not been diminished, as the choir was composed of talented persons.
