Bishop Arthur Thomas Lloyd lived at Benwell Towers, the traditional home of the Bishop of Newcastle. Lloyd was the third Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Newcastle in 1903 {1}. Arthur Thomas Lloyd (1845-1907) had previously been vicar of St. Nicholas Cathedral from 1882 to 1894. After only four years as Bishop, Bishop Lloyd died at Benwell Towers. There is an alabaster effigy of him with gothic chest tomb and canopy by F.W. Pomeroy in the north aisle of the chancel of St. Nicholas Cathedral {Morgan 2004}.
