- Sir Rhys Rhys-Williams, 1st Baronet
Sir Rhys Rhys-Williams, 1st Baronet (20 October 1865 – 29 January 1955), born Rhys Williams, was a British Liberal Party politician from Wales.
He was elected at the 1918 general election as Member of Parliament (MP) for Banbury, serving until the 1922 general election.
He was created a Baronet in June 1918, shortly before entering Parliament. After his death, the baronetcy was inherited by his son Brandon Rhys-Williams, who later served for over twenty years as a Conservative MP.
His wife Juliet Rhys-Williams was a writer and prominent Liberal politician who later joined the Conservative Party.
He inherited his father's estate in Wales, Miskin Manor [http://www.miskin-manor.co.uk/web/main.php?page=welcome&content=history] in Glamorgan, after which his baronetcy was named. The house is claimed to be haunted. [http://www.haunted-britain.com/Haunted_Wales.htm#Miskin%20Manor%20Hotel.]
Sir Rhys served as the first President of Llantrisant and Pontyclun Golf Club, formed in 1927.
