Charles Lloyd was born at Dolobran, Montgomeryshire, Wales on 9 December 1637[1][2] He was baptised at Meifod, Montgomeryshire, Wales on 19 December 1637, with his father named as Charles.[3][4] His parents were Charles Lloyd of Dolobran Hall and Elizabeth Stanley.[5]
Charles studied at Oxford University.[2] He joined the Quakers at the start of the 1660s.[1]
Charles married Elizabeth Lort in 1661/2. Her father was Sampson Lort of Manorbier, Pembrokeshire.[6]
In 1662 Charles was arrested for refusing, on Quaker principle, to swear an oath of allegiance.[7] His wife Elizabeth chose to join him in prison.[2] In 1663 he was allowed to move, under confinement, to a house in Welshpool, Montgomeryshire.[1] He was released in 1671.[8] Besse's Sufferings of Early Quakers refers to occasions on which he subsequently suffered fines because of his Quaker principles.[9]
Charles and his wife had three children, all born while they were held in confinement:
Charles, born 1662[1][2] and baptised at Meifod, Montgomeryshire on 5 April 1663[10][11]
Charles had a Quaker Meeting House built on land he donated at Dolobran:[13] Douglas Richardson gives the date as 1660 and mistakenly attributes this to Charles's father;[5] Arthur Raistrick states that it was in 1677, with some Quaker meetings being previously held at Charles's home.[2] The meeting-house was the first dedicated Quaker meeting house in Wales.[13]
In 1682 Charles and other Quakers went to London to make representations to the government about the sufferings of Quakers.[14]
In 1686 Charles remarried, his second wife being Ann Lawrence.[1]
Charles died in 1698 in Birmingham, Warwickshire at the home of his daughter Elizabeth.[1] He was buried in the Quaker Burial Ground at Birmingham on 30 November (Quaker 9th month) 1698.[15][16]
