Morley Town Hall

[3] The competition was won by Henry Holtom and George Arthur Fox from Dewsbury with a Neoclassical style design.[5] A Cambridge-chiming clock, known as the "Sam Rhodes Clock" (named after Councillor Sam Rhodes, the chairman of the Town Hall Committee) was installed in the tower in April 1895;[2] it had been manufactured by Potts & Sons of Leeds, and the accompanying five bells were by John Warner & Sons.[3] Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, visited the building and had coffee with the civic leaders on 28 October 1954.[10] The town hall was the headquarters of the Municipal Borough of Morley but it ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged Leeds City Council was formed in 1974.[12][13] Ellen Mary Rope painted three tall bas-reliefs ("Faith", "Hope" and "Charity"), high up above the dais in the Alexandra Hall in autumn 1895.
