The Hall under the Lloyds

Gamaliel Lloyd came from a prominent Manchester merchant family and entered the Leeds cloth trade in the early 1760s and after the failure of a dyeing enterprise with the Gautier brothers he entered into terms with Horace Cattaneo, an Italian, in 1776 to form a large and successful export house. His father George was Fellow of the Royal Society and bought the estate of Barrowby Hall nr Leeds. In 1789 Gamaliel left Leeds to live in Hampstead. His brother Thomas had come to Leeds at the same time and he remained in Leeds buying Armley mills in 1788, extending the fulling-stocks in the following year so that it became the largest fulling-mill in the country, and spending some of his income on the Leeds Volunteers Corps which he commanded after its reformation in 1794 and during the French wars, after previously serving as a lieutenant in the unit under Colonel Dixon during the American war. At the end of the French war the Corp was again disbanded. He lived at Horsforth Hall.

The Lloyd Family

The Agars of Brockfield were officially Lords of the Manor, but as they lived out of the village the Lloyd family took over the mantle of 'Lords of the Manor' and served the village well from 1850 to the death of the Mrs Mabel Ann Lloyd in 1947.

George Lloyd - born 21 May 1787 died 12 March 1863 at his Home, Stockton Hall

George purchased the Hall after the death of Harriet Plumer. Described as maintaining the character of a thorough English gentleman through out his long life. For many years was master of the York and Ainsty Hunt, and by his courteous and sportsman like conduct won for himself the greatest esteem and respect. As a magistrate he was zealous in the discharge of his duty, and was ever anxious to temper justice with mercy. He was chairman of Dame Wilson's Charity Trustees, and in various other offices of trust and responsibility he was ready to discharge public duties. He was an earnest member of the Established Church and a liberal patron of most of the institutions established to promote her usefulness. His private charities were marked alike by their munificence and by a studied avoidance of ostentation, his great aim to do the largest possible amount of good in the most quiet and unassuming manner.

1836 George Lloyd was a member of the Yorkshire Central Agricultural Associaton and was intending to attend their Agricultural Dinner announced in the York Herald of Sat 5 November 1836.

Rabbit or Hare?

In the Vol 1, 1851 edition of The Naturalist, while discussing a creature that had been shot in 1849 and was apparently a crossbreed having the body similar to that of a hare and a rabbit type head they said that there was no known interbreeding of the two animals. They did however mention an animal "which, had very much the appearance of what you would expect a hybrid between the Hare and the Rabbit to exihibit. Its head and feet, particularly, were like those of the Hare, while its general character was that of the Rabbit. We had only opportunity for examining it stuffed, and cannot, therefore, speak as to the nature of the flesh, or its osteological peculiarities. It was obtained on the estate of G. Lloyd, Esq., Stockton Hall, near York, in whose possession it is now."

Miss Alicia Maria Lloyd

On George's death in 1863 the Hall passed to his daughter Alicia, whose brother the Rev. George Lloyd Greame [taking that name from the inheritance of Yarburgh Graeme estate, became Yarburgh Yarburgh of Heslington]. The estate that devolved to George Jnr. was that of Sewerby House near Bridlington. Alicia Maria had built the new church of St Paul in Heslington at a cost of some £3500 in 1857-8 and in Bridlington with her brother the building of a dispensary then the Lloyd Hospital for the poor on what is now known as Lloyd Avenue.  History (PDF)

Island and Coast Society - Donations, Subscriptions and Collections - Mrs Lloyd and Miss Lloyd of Stockton Hall made a number of contributions between 1862 and 1871 to assist in the missionary work.

In the Village Miss Lloyd was also most generous with endowments to the Church and the establishment of the School. She died in 1892 at the age of 77. It is said that whilst not officially Lady of the Manor she was regarded as such by all and was even considered ‘minor royalty’ in the deference afforded to her.

Second hand books?

Miss Lloyd used to give the servants an annual present, presumably at Christmas, in the form of an old book from the Hall’s library ususally with a religious or moral theme.

In 1885 Joseph Carter received a copy of “Old Humphrey’s Country Strolls” (it cost 1/6 from the Religious Tract Society).

In 1888 he received “Heroes of the  Desert: The story of the lives and labours of Moffat and Livingstone” (it had been published 13 years earlier. It was inscribed “With Miss Lloyd’s good wishes”.

Joseph received his last book presentation after Alicia Maria Lloyd died in February 1892, a copy of “As Happy as a King: A Plain Book for Occasional Reading by the Rev F. Bourdillon M,A., vicar of Old Warden, Beds, Author of “Family Readings of the Gospel According to St John”, “The Odd Five Minutes” etc.”. The book plate reads “In memory of one who always took a sincere interest in the welfare of those at Stockton-on-Forest” with biblical quotes “She being dead yet speaketh”  from Hebrews and “Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at any hour when ye think not” from Luke. This was another old book.

George William Lloyd born 4 March 1861 died 4 January 1934

He was educated at Eton and Trinity Cambs. And archived his MA in 1885. He was JP for North Riding of Yorks from 1904 and for Kesteven Div. Lincs from 1920. Became High Sheriff of York in 1909. His clubs were the Conservative, St. James St. and SW Yorks, York.

When Alicia Lloyd died in 1892, G W Lloyd, elder son of Rev Henry Lloyd of Caythorpe Hall, near Grantham, who was the third son of George John, inherited Stockton Hall. He was at university and did not immediately come to Stockton, so the Hall was for some time occupied by the Palmes of Naburn who were related to the Lloyds by marriage. G W eventually moved to Stockton, however, and became so well known for his support of the church that Archbishop William Temple attended his funeral in 1934, when he gave an address paying tribute to G W's unassuming disposition and charitable works. The esteem in which the village held him is seen on the wooden tablet attached to the wall of the clergy vestry. His widow survived him and continued to live at the Hall. On her death, the Hall at first became a garment factory and then in 1963 a community home for boys.

From 1893 to 1901 the Hall was occupied by Mrs Palmes [later the Cunard family]

George came to live at Stockton Hall in 1905 and became so well known for his support of the church that Archbishop William Temple attended his funeral in 1934, when he gave an address paying tribute to George's unassuming disposition and charitable works. The esteem in which the village held him is seen on the wooden tablet attached to the wall of the clergy vestry.

George Lloyd gave all the school children in the village a party in the Hall's Park on Empire Day May 24th in the 20s and 30s.

Before the arrival of the village hall the old school was used for Dances, Whist Drives, Jumble Sales and Magic Lantern Shows, which George Lloyd used to give to illustrate his travels abroad on his missionary work. It cost 1d to get in and was nicknamed 'Tom Thump from Uganda', because when he wanted a slide changing he used to thump on the floor with a window pole. Britten, his chauffer at the Hall was the person who changed his slides. These shows were held twice a year. The Hall also stored around 120 chairs and 40 tables which would be taken to the school by Mr Strakers's horse and cart to be set up for events like the whist drives.

Every so often at the Hall there used to be held a sewing meeting where some of the women in the village met to stitch sheets and blankets, and little lads were employed in making roll bandages by ripping up sheets into 2 and 3 inch strips which were then put onto a contraption like a pencil sharpener. All of these were sent to missionaries working abroad. George Lloyd held a lot of events for the missionaries and used to go abroad quite a lot, but it is not known if he was one.

Mrs Mabel Ann Lloyd born 17 November 1868 died 15 October 1947

Mrs. Lloyd, was a Tartar, if children were not at Sunday School, she would then call at their houses the following morning to ask mothers why they had not attended. Even so she did a lot of good for the village with his sister, who did not live at the Hall, but in a big house in St Saviourgate in York did the same. If anyone in the village was having a baby she got soup and things like that and sent to them and each Christmas there would be a horse and cart which used to go round loaded with bags of coal and loaves of bread to give out to those in need.

Stockton used to have an annual Gardening Show at the Hall, carrots, onions, and the like; the Lloyd family presented the prizes where appropriate. There were some good gardeners in the village and a lot of competition. The school was involved making miniature gardens, best handwriting, best rabbit and best everything sort of thing held in a marquee. There were always lots of horses there and afterwards there was running round the perimeter of the field, for cash prizes. There were 'professionals' who used to go from show to show just to earn a few bob in prize money.
