Colonel Sir John Conway Lloyd (1878-1954) of Dinas, Brecon, was educated at Eton and Oxford. He married in 1903 and had three sons and two daughters. He was an active public figure in Breconshire, and a J.P., a member of Brecon Town Council, and a member of the County Council, which he represented on various public bodies including the courts of the National Museum and the universities of Cardiff and Aberystwyth. He was made sheriff of Breconshire in 1906, and knighted in 1938. He inherited the papers of his uncle, John Lloyd (1833-1915), including a large group of documents relating to the history of the South Wales ironworks. John Lloyd, political reformer and antiquary, was educated at Bridgnorth and Oxford. He married in 1865, and became a J.P. in the same year. In 1877 he was called to the Bar, and moved to London. He was a supporter of various causes, including the establishment of the London County Council, of which he became a member, and the removal of turnpike gates in his home county. He acquired numerous historical documents through his involvement in disputes concerning manorial rights. In addition, he rescued papers pertaining to the South Wales ironmasters from the office of the Brecon solicitor, Henry Maybery. His most notable works are Historical memoranda of Breconshire (1903, 1904), The Great Forest of Brecknock (1905), and The early history of the Old South Wales ironworks (1906).
