Llewellyn Treacher (1859-1943) served on Twyford parish council from 1895-1937, as chairman from 1899; Wokingham Rural District Council, 1894-1928; and Wokingham Board of Guardians.
He was an enthusiastic amateur geologist and archaeologist, with a particular interest in the palaeolithic period. He was a friend of Joseph Stevens, first curator of Reading Museum, and inspired local antiquarian F. Maitland Underhill in the 1920s.
His collection of geological specimens, archaeological finds and photographs has been long-since dispersed, but material is held at Reading University, the Musum of English Rural Life, and the Pitt-Rivers Museum, Oxford, among other places.
