View of the sanctuary within the Leeds Parish Church of St. Peter, with the memorial to Reverend Walter Farquhar Hook on the left. Reverend Hook (1798-1875) was Vicar of Leeds from 1837 until 1859 when he became Dean of Chichester. The memorial was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott R.A. (who was the architect of All Souls Church in Blackman Lane, built between 1876-80, also as a memorial to the Vicar of Leeds, and Scott designed Leeds Infirmary which opened in 1869). The memorial is an altar-tomb of red veined marble. The recumbent white marble effigy of the Vicar of Leeds was the work of monumental mason, William Day Keyworth Jnr (Keyworth sculpted the four portland stone lions which have guarded Leeds Town Hall since 1867). The memorial to Reverend W.F. Hook cost ?1,000. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Leeds Parish Church Keyworth Sir George Gilbert Scott Walter Farquhar Hook St. Peter | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
