Thomas Lloyd (priest)

Thomas Lloyd (priest) was a Welsh Anglican priest and antiquarian. He is primarily known for his contributions to the study of the history and architecture of the parishes in Montgomeryshire, Wales, during the 19th century.

Lloyd was a Church of England clergyman, serving in various parishes throughout Montgomeryshire. Details about his specific birth and death dates, early life, and educational background are somewhat scarce, relying on local records and antiquarian sources. However, his dedication to the history of his region is well-documented.

His principal contribution lies in his meticulously detailed accounts of the churches, chapels, and other historical sites within his parish and surrounding areas. These records typically included architectural descriptions, historical background information, and transcriptions of monumental inscriptions found within the church and its grounds. His work provided invaluable information about the social, religious, and architectural landscape of Montgomeryshire during his time.

While not published widely during his lifetime, his manuscript notes and transcriptions have since become important resources for researchers studying the history of the area. They are often consulted by local historians, genealogists, and architectural historians seeking to understand the evolution of the region's built environment and its religious institutions. His works are generally found in county record offices and archives.
