Llanystumdwy - LLoyd George Museum

The village of LLanstumdwy has a museum devoted to the politician David Lloyd George (1863-1945). Born in Manchester, he spent his childhood at his uncle's house in Llanystumdwy, after the death of his father. He then worked as a lawyer at the slate harbor of Porthmadog, before going to London as the member of parliament for Caernarfon and advancing to become the leader of the Liberal party and finally Prime Minister. During his period of office he carried out important social reforms, following the model of the social security laws of Bismarck in Germany. The museum has a large number of mementos which serve to document the life of this British statesman, who epitomized the Anglo-Welshman. Lloyd George returned in 1944 to the place of his childhood and his grave lies surrounded by oak-trees on the banks of the Dwyfor.
