Charles’ son, Sampson Lloyd I left Dolobran to escape the continued persecution of Quakers. He went to live in Birmingham, a much safer place for Quakers at the time, as it was not a corporate borough. (Under the Five Mile Act of 1665, Quakers and other nonconformist ministers were forbidden from living within five miles of a corporate borough).
