Sir Thomas Davies Lloyd, 1st Baronet (21 May 1820 ? 21 July 1877) was a British Liberal Member of Parliament, for Cardiganshire (Ceredigion) 1865?1868 and Cardigan Boroughs 1868?1874. Although he coveted a peerage and spent a fortune in pursuit of that aim, he had to be content with a baronetcy. Lloyd claimed descent from ancient Welsh families and placed great emphasis on these connections.[1] He rebuilt Bronwydd as a Victorian Gothic fantasy 1853?1856. The house is now a ruin, in the process of clearance. Lloyd restored the old castle at Newport, Pembrokeshire as a seat for his Marcher Lordship of Cemais and Llangynllo Church. His chivalric fantasies left the estate deeply in debt.
