| This is the story of the Lloyd family,
who for many generations made significant contributions to
the modern world. Descended from kings, they suffered
religious persecution, and came to the West Midlands, where
they founded a banking empire, large industrial concerns,
played an important role in civic life, wrote poetry, and
entered parliament.
Through numerous marriages, the family
had direct links with many of the influential families of
the day, and because of their business links, became
well-known and greatly respected throughout much of the
country. |
