Description

Richard Lloyd (1834-1917) was David Lloyd George's uncle, the brother of Lloyd George's mother. Following his father's death in 1864, David Lloyd George moved with his pregnant mother and sister to live with 'Uncle Lloyd' in Highgate, Llanystumdwy. Richard Lloyd was a shoemaker in the village and was a leading figure in the religious and social life of the community. His workshop has been restored to resemble as closely as possible how it would have looked in Richard Lloyd's time.
