I am working on a dissertation about the Celtic Association of which A.P. Graves was a member. I have read the Autobiography for free thanks to the Harvard Library where he says that he moved to Huddersfield when he became a full inspector in Yorkshire and established a lawn tennis club. He left due to his wife's pooe health and moved in 1882 to Taunton. His wife died in 1886.

A.P. Graves was inducted as a bard in the Gorsedd of the Bards of Britain which held their annual ceremony during the National Eisteddfod in Wales for his work on folk-song collecting all over Great Britain. But, he had called for a Welsh folk-song society and worked on Welsh poetic measure.
