Born at Swansea 18 October 1674, died at Bath 12 February 1761, and buried with unusual pomp in Bath Abbey. His remarkable career, and the ways in which he developed Bath into a centre of fashion, are recounted in Thomas Seccombe's article in the D.N.B., and in a host of other books.
His father was Richard Nash, born in Pembroke town, who had settled at Swansea as a partner in glass-works; his mother was a niece of John Poyer of Pembroke. His ancestry is not clear. A family bearing the surname Nash had been squires of Llangwm, Pembrokeshire (W. Wales Hist.

Dickie Beau
British actor
Richard Boyce, known professionally as Dickie Beau,[1][2][3] is a British film and stage actor. His stage performances often involve lip-synching to archival audio recordings.[4][2][5]
Early life
At the age of five, Beau played the Handsome Prince in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and knew he wanted to act.[4] His childhood idols included Judy Garland and Marilyn Monroe.[6]
Beau trained in drama at Manchester University, and subsequently worked in a Milan theatre company, Teatro della Contraddizione, whose work was inspired by Pina Bausch.[7][8]
Technique
Beau's use of lip-synching was inspired by the drag queen Suppositori Spelling, who he met in London in 2006.[9][7] An additional inspiration for his technique was the journalist Richard Meryman.[10][11][12] Beau sometimes lip-synchs to his own voice, sometimes to those of other performers.[13][14] He ca
