Early life
Lewis Davies was born in the coal mining village of Blaenclydach, near Tonypandy, to parents who operated a grocery store. They were careful to educate all their six children, to keep them from having to be employed in the coal mines. Like his more famous brother Rhys, he was gay and for that reason decided against a career in the Anglican priesthood. ==Career==
