About Charles Lloyd
Charles Lloyd, Regius Professor of Divinity and Bishop of Oxford from 1827 to 1829, was born in West Wycombe, Buckinghamshire on 26 September 1784, the second son of Thomas Lloyd and grandson of Nathaniel Ryder, 1st Baron Harrowby. Thomas, a 'clergyman and schoolmaster', was Rector of Aston-sub-Edge in Gloucestershire and ran a school at Great Missenden. Charles went to Eton, his education being paid for by scholarships. He was evidently a considerable scholar, achieving a first at Christ Church, Oxford in 1806, a BD in 1818 and a DD in 1821. Eventually, he had to leave and took a job as a tutor to Lord Elgin's children at Dunfermline. This did not last long as he was asked to return to Oxford to teach mathematics. One of his first jobs was to prepare Robert Peel for his exams. Peel later became prime minister, and remained a lifelong friend of Lloyd. Charles Lloyd soon gained a reputation as an effective teacher.
