Joseph Pring (1773-1842) was appointed organist at Bangor Cathedral in 1793, but not officially elected until 1810: 'In 1811 he became aware of a scheme devised by the chapter at Bangor to divert for other purposes funds (the tithes of Llandinam) that had by an act of parliament of 1685 hitherto been used partly for the benefit of the cathedral choir and organist. A protracted dispute arose which was eventually resolved by the lord chancellor with a compromise ruling that delivered at least a partial victory for Pring and his choristers. Pring published a full account of the affair in Papers, documents, law proceedings ? respecting the maintenance of the choir of the cathedral church of Bangor (1819). He died on 13 February 1842 at Bangor, and was buried at Bangor Cathedral. He was succeeded in his post at Bangor by one of his sons, James S. Pring' (Oxford DNB).
