British organ builder

Charles Frederick Lloyd (11 June 1867 – 31 July 1925) was a British pipe organ builder in Nottingham, England.[1][2]

Biography

Charles Frederick Lloyd was born in Nottingham, the only surviving son of Charles Lloyd, who had established an organ building business in the city, and Mary Ann Jennison.[3] At age 18, he married Louisa Oaksford,[4] and had two sons, Charles Henry and Frederick Arthur.[5]

Charles Frederick Lloyd took over the business, Charles Lloyd & Co., after the death of his father in 1908. Lloyd & Co. continued until his death in 1925, when he left the business to his son Frederick.[6] In 1928, the business was bought by Roger Yates.

Lloyd was also the organist of St. Ann's Church, Nottingham for more than 40 years,[7] until poor health caused him to step down 18 months prior to his death.[1]
