  Notes	George Lloyd was Bishop of Chester 1604-1615. He was a fellow of Magdalene College, Cambridge, rector of Heswell-in-Wirral, Cheshire, and reader of divinity at Chester Cathedral. He was appointed Bishop for Soder and Man 1600 and of Chester 1604. According to Walter Gilbert's Genealogy Web Site , at the church of St. Werbarges there is an alabaster stone that at one time had a plate that has since been stolen. On the plate a latin inscription was inscribed, which read as follows in English translation: "An untimely death has shut up in this tomb the hear of George Lloyd, whose memory is recorded in Chester. Who was by race a Welshman. Educated at Cambridge, a Doctor of Theology and a leader of the Theologians. He directed and benefited the Bishopric of Soder and Man, presiding over it for a term of five years. His mother England recalled her son and deemed him worthy to possess the Bishopric of Chester, where eleven seasons have passed away -- not without storms of trouble; he died lamented, and worthy to be lamented, in the fifty-fifth year of his age and on the first day of the month of August, 1615. Neither was there shame in his life nor shame in his death."
