Portrait of William Walter Legge, 5th Earl of Dartmouth (1823 - 1891), and Lord of the Manor of Morley, though he lived at Patshill near Wolverhampton. He donated the land for Dartmouth Park to the people of Morley, visiting the town in 1888 to cut the first sod for the park, when he received a great welcome with special arches put up for him. Similar decorations were in place when he visited again on 24th May 1890 to open the park.
