Description

Highgate, Llanystumdwy, was the childhood home of David Lloyd George from 1864 to 1880. Following the sudden death of his father in 1864, David Lloyd George came to Highgate, his mother's childhood home, to live with his mother's brother, Richard Lloyd or 'Uncle Lloyd'.

Richard Lloyd was a shoemaker in the village and was a leading figure in the religious and social life of the community. He greatly encouraged David Lloyd George and his brother William with their education, and the two boys used to study at the two desks in the parlour.
