The rest of this note will deal with Evan Lewis of Llanilar's younger son Evan, b. (after the father's death) 18 Nov. 1818. He went to Ystrad Meurig, then to a school at Aberystwyth, and afterwards to his uncle David's school at Twickenham. In April 1838 he went to Jesus College, Oxford, graduating in 1841; he was a notable oarsman, and under his captaincy the college boat went head of the river. He was ordained by Bethell of Bangor in 1842, and served curacies at Llanddeusant, Anglesey (1842-3), Llanfaes and Penmon (1843-5), Llanfihangel Ysgeifiog (1845-6), and Llanllechid (1847-59) under J. H. Cotton (q.v.), whose daughter was Lewis's first wife. In 1859 he was given the important living of Aberdare, remaining there till 1866, when he became rector of Dolgelley. He was appointed in 1884 dean of Bangor, and d. there 24 Nov. 1901; he was buried at Llandygai. With the support of bishop Bethell (the only bishop in Wales at that date who favoured the Tractarians), and in the company of men like Morris Williams (Nicander), Griffith Arthur Jones, and Philip Constable Ellis (all three separately noticed), he strove vigorously and successfully to propagate the principles and practices of the Oxford Movement in his diocese. At Llanllechid, he swept away the old custom of substituting contemporary hymns for the ‘Te Deum’ and the ‘Magnificat’; he insisted on chants and upon choral singing; so too at Dolgelley he introduced Gregorian chanting. While still a curate, he took part in the vigorous controversy known as the ‘Bangor debate,’ speaking and writing in defence of ‘Catholic’ views, against Nonconformists like John Phillips (1810-1867) (q.v.) and William Davies (1820-1875) (q.v.) — one of the products of this debate was Lewis's book Yr Olyniaeth Apostolaidd, 1851. He read a paper on ‘The Church in Wales’ at the Church congress at Swansea in 1879. He was a zealous Welshman, the founder of S. Mary's Welsh church at Aberdare, and the translator of a number of hymns into Welsh.
