William Dillwyn Llewelyn (1 April 1868 – 24 August 1893) was a Welsh first-class cricketer.
The son of Sir John Dillwyn-Llewellyn and his wife, Caroline Julia Hicks-Beach, he was born at Aberdulais in April 1868.[1] He was educated at Eton College, before going up to New College, Oxford.[2] While studying at Oxford, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Oxford University against the touring Australians at Oxford in 1890. He played first-class cricket for Oxford until 1891, making sixteen appearances and gaining a blue in both 1890 and 1891.[3] Llewelyn scored 638 runs in these matches, at an average of 20.58 and a high score of 116,[4] which came against the Gentlemen of England in 1890.[5] During his time at Oxford, he also played one first-class match for the Oxford and Cambridge Universities Past and Present cricket team against the Australians at Portsmouth in 1890.
Following his graduation from Oxford, he appeared in further first-class matches in 1893 for the Gentlemen of England and the Marylebone Cricket Club.[3] Llewelyn was associated with Glamorgan County Cricket Club, then a second-class county, becoming the club treasurer in 1893. He killed himself by shooting himself in the grounds of Penllergare House on 24 August 1893, just a week before his marriage to the daughter of Lord Dynevor.[6] His body was discovered in woodland the following morning, with his funeral later attended by many of Wales' leading social figures.[7]
