Llewelyn David Bevan

Llewelyn David Bevan (11 September 1842 – 19 July 1918) was a Congregational church minister and academic active in Australia.

In 1873 Bevan won the Marylebone seat on the London School Board supporting 'free, compulsory and secular' education.

Awarded a doctorate by Princeton University in 1882, Bevan moved back to London where he was urged to stand for Parliament.

Partly because his family's health often suffered during the winter months,[3] Bevan decided instead to accept a fourth offer to minister at the Collins Street Independent Church.

[1] Bevan was a sufferer of diabetes and ultimately peripheral vascular disease and died on 19 July 1918, survived by his wife Louisa, three sons and four daughters.
