LLOYD, THOMAS ALWYN (1881 - 1960), architect and town planner Born 11 August 1881 in Liverpool, the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Jones Lloyd. The family came from a strong nonconformist tradition in Denbighshire, and Lloyd inherited a deep love for rural Wales and for Welsh culture. He was educated at Liverpool College and at the University of Liverpool where he studied architecture in the university's Architecture School. From 1907 to 1912, he was an
LLOYD, WILLIAM (1717 - 1777), cleric and translator mother was Elizabeth Hughes of Tre'r-dryw; he had (says William Morris) a full brother who was a ship's captain (perhaps the ' Owen Lloyd ' who was christened a year before him at Flint); he had a half-brother; he was nephew of Owen Lloyd, chancellor of Bangor; and he was cousin to William Jones of Trefollwyn (fl. 1718-79), one of the earliest Methodists of Anglesey. Though the Cymmrodorion lists give
LLOYD, WILLIAM (1741 - 1808), Calvinistic Methodist exhorter Born in 1741, son of Dafydd Llwyd of Blaen-clawdd, Caeo, Carmarthenshire. When he was 18 years of age he heard a sermon preached by Peter Williams, which made a deep impression upon him, but it was a year later, after listening to Evan Jones of Lledrod, that he was completely converted. He joined the Independent church at Crug-y-bar, but in 1760 he and a number of other members left the church
LLOYD-JONES, DAVID MARTYN (1899 - 1981), minister and theologian Martyn Lloyd-Jones was born in Cardiff, the second of three sons born to Henry Lloyd-Jones and Magdalene or 'Maggie' Lloyd-Jones (née Evans), on 20 December 1899. The family home was in Donald Street, Cathays, and the father was a grocer by trade. Because of the father's health, the family moved from Cardiff to Llangeitho during the spring of 1906, to keep a general store, which included the sale
LLOYD-JONES, JOHN (1885 - 1956), scholar and poet Born 14 October 1885, son of John and Dorothy Lloyd-Jones, Cartrefle, Dolwyddelan,, Caernarfonshire. He was educated at Llanrwst grammar school and the University College of North Wales, Bangor. He graduated B.A. in 1906 and M.A. in 1909. He took the B.Litt. degree of Oxford University at Jesus College, and then studied under Rudolf Thurneysen at the University of Freiburg. He was appointed first
LLWYD, YR USTUS (fl. 14th century), poet Poems by him are found in Jesus Coll. MS. 1, Peniarth MS 118, and NLW MS 4973B. His metres and his poems, as early examples of the compositions of the clêr or wandering poets are discussed by T. Gwynn Jones in Zeitschrift fûr Celtische Philologie, xvii, 167-76. See also G. J. Williams, Traddodiad Llenyddol Morgannwg, 113 and 134.
LLWYD, HARRI (bu farw 1799), Wesleyan lay preacher His early history is still obscure. He is said to have been convinced of his sin under the ministry of David Jones (nephew of Griffith Jones, Llanddowror?) at the Llanlluan chapel-of-ease; this conviction was deepened by the preaching of Howel Harris and the full light burst upon him about August 1743 - one of the few relatively certain dates in his early history. He was a Wesleyan lay preacher
LLWYD, RICHARD (Bard of Snowdon; 1752 - 1835), poet and authority on Welsh heraldry and genealogy instrumental in raising a monument to David Hughes, founder of the free school at which he had been educated; he failed in his efforts to erect a memorial to Owen Jones (Owain Myfyr). He had throughout life been interested in books, manuscripts, and records of the assistance which he gave to such writers as Sir Richard Colt Hoare, Richard Fenton, Peter Roberts, was duly acknowledged. He came to be considered
LLYWELYN ap MOEL Y PANTRI (bu farw 1440) Llanwnnog, poet , cxxxiii); it is also suggested that his father ('Moel y Pantri') was the real author of two other poems attributed to Llywelyn in some MSS. (Iolo Goch ac Eraill, 1925 ed., cxxix). No details are known concerning the life of his son OWAIN, but a large number of his poems remain in manuscript, see Jones and Lewis, Mynegai; Bodewryd MS 1D; Brogyntyn MSS. 1, 2, 6; Cwrtmawr MS 312B; Gwysaney MS. 25; NLW MS
LLYWELYN FARDD (fl. c. 1150-1175), poet His dates and list of works are not easily fixed. Cerdd Dafod gives c. 1185 - 1220, but J. Lloyd-Jones has c. 1155 - 1200. It may be suggested that there were two poets of the same name, one in the 12th century, and the other in the 13th century, and that that is why the ' Red Book of Hergest ' refers to ' Llywelyn Fardd, son of Cywryd.' This poet was the earlier, and apparently a native of
LLYWELYN SION (fl. second half of the 16th century), poet, farmer, at one time beadle or crier in the courts, a professional copyist by trade, and one of the most important figures in the literary life of Glamorganshire his reputation to the fact that he was the greatest professional copyist of his time; he was not as prolific a copyist as John Jones (1578? - 1658?) of Gellilyfdy or Robert Vaughan of Hengwrt, but his MSS. are far more systematic and he has kept aloof from contemporary literary prejudices. There are thirteen of his MSS. still in existence - seven being collections of cywyddau and awdlau, one of
LLYWELYN-WILLIAMS, ALUN (1913 - 1988), poet and literary critic Margaret Ann Price (1875-1948) from Rhyl. Enid Wyn Jones was his sister. His background was different to that of most other Welsh-language writers of the time in that he had a middle-class professional upbringing in Cardiff. Although English was the main language of the home, that did not mean that the family was Anglicized: he says that he had 'a faint memory of playing by myself in Welsh as a young boy
