He is described as being a stern disciplinarian, but was also a generous man, and provided Bibles and other books at his own expense. He held strong religious beliefs, and it would seem thus, the school-house eventually became a 'chapel-of-ease' (where he served as a clerk), and a new school (the 'James Davies School') was built. Returning to Llangattock-Lingoed in 1848, he took charge of his old school there, despite being now 83 years of age. He died Llangattock-Lingoed the following year. (en)
