Description: | c1965. The Royal Coat of Arms that in 1664 on the orders of King Charles II was placed inside Morley Old Chapel. It was transferred after the demolition of the Old Chapel into the new building of St. Mary's-in-the-Wood, later the Morley United Reformed Church. About 1965 when this photograph was taken the wooden painting had been restored, with years of dark-coloured varnish taken from it and a lighter and clearer painting made. Presumably the date of 1664 was significant being only a year after the Farnley Wood Plot. Probably Charles II was warning the Ministers at the Old Chapel not to break Anglican rules brought into force after the Restoration, but such was the feeling for non-conformity in this part of the country that the Old Chapel was the only former Anglican church in England that did not return to the Anglican fold after the Restoration.
