“The Lloyds,” he says, “are descended from Einion. The heiress of
the house, Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Lloyd, married Foulke Lloyd,
of Fox Hall, or the hall of Foulke, and was great grandmother to the
Rev. John Robert Lloyd, Rector of Whittington and Selattyn, both in
his advowson, the present possessor of Aston. The name of the Fox
Hall family was Rosindale, when they came first from the north. To a
younger branch, settled at Denbigh, we owe our learned countryman,
Humphrey Llwyd. He was of Brazen-nose, Oxford, studied physic, and
lived as family physician in the house of the last Earl of Arundel,
of the name of Fitz-Alan, the Chancellor of the University. He sat
in Parliament for his native town of Denbigh, and died there in the
forty-first year of his age, and was buried in the Parish Church with
a coarse monument, a dry epitaph, and a psalm-tune under it. He
collected many curious books for Lord Lumley (whose sister he
married), which form at this time a valuable part of the Library in
the British Museum. One of his sons was settled at Cheam, in Surrey,
whose great grandson, Robert Lloyd, was Rector of St. Paul’s, Covent
Garden, and contended, but without effect, for the Barony of Lumley.”
Aston Chapel was built in 1594, at the expense of Richard Lloyd, Esq., of
Aston, and then called Christ’s Chapel. It was endowed by its founder
with £15 per annum, and Anne, his wife, left by will £5 per annum in land
to the Chapel, and 40s. for four Welsh sermons to be preached in the
year, with 15s. to be distributed to the poor of Oswestry parish at each
sermon. The chapel was consecrated by Bishop Parry.
