His greatest fame lies with his influential poem Cannwyll y Cymry (usually translated as The Welshman's Candle), a collection of poetical teachings and moral guidance. Later in his life Prichard built a larger house on the same plot of land where his birthplace had originally stood, and this house was demolished in the mid-20th century. (en)
