E. Stansfeld Occupation * Merchant * Politician Hamer Stansfeld JP ( /ˈstænsfiːld/ STANSS-feeld ; 17 February 1797 - 1865 ) was a British merchant and Radical and Liberal politician who represented Leeds as Mayor ( 1843-44 ) and Alderman ( from 1835 ) , and led the development of the first custom-built hydropathic hotel , the Ben Rhydding Hydro ( 1844 ) . Prominent in the Anti-Corn Law League and as a proponent of the extension of the electoral franchise and state-funded education , he was also known for his writings on currency and money supply and for a dispute , played out in the local press , with the High Churchman and Tractarian Walter Hook , Vicar of Leeds . Background Hamer Stansfeld was born on 17 February 1797 , the ninth son and thirteenth child of the merchant David Stansfeld ( 1755-1818 ) , of Leeds , Yorkshire , and his wife Sarah Wolrich ( 1757-1824 ) , daughter of Thomas Wolrich ( 1719-91 ) of Armley House , Leeds ; and grandson of David Stansfeld ( 1720-69 ) of Hope Hall , Halifax , Yorkshire . He was a descendant of the Stansfeld family of Stansfield and Sowerby , Yorkshire , uncle of the Liberal politician Sir James Stansfeld , and a distant cousin of the politician William Crompton-Stansfield and the soldiers James Rawdon Stansfeld , Thomas Wolryche Stansfeld and John R. E. Stansfeld . He was a member of a very old Yorkshire family , which had for many generations held a position of influence in the county . Career Business Stansfeld was a junior partner in the textile manufacturing company of Stansfeld , Briggs , and Stansfeld , which succumbed to bankruptcy in the Panic of 1825 . Stansfeld was described as " one of the leading mercantile men " in Leeds , and one who took an active part in many of the public affairs of the borough . He is noted as being " in Prussia selling cloth " in c.1839-40 . Politics Leeds Town Hall ( 2007 ) Stansfeld became an alderman of Leeds Corporation from after the passing of the Municipal Corporations Act 1835 until 1847 , rising to the position of Mayor of Leeds in 1843-44 . He was described as one of the most active magistrates on the commission for the peace of the borough of Leeds and was also a Justice of the Peace for the West Riding of Yorkshire . In his views , Stansfeld was a Liberal radical , a strong advocate of the principles of free trade , and leading member of the Anti-Corn Law League . He corresponded with Richard Cobden and John Bright , and lobbied in London for the interests of the town . He was a supporter of household suffrage for the elective franchise , and in 1837 became president of the Leeds Household Suffrage Association . He was one of the sponsors of the establishment , in April 1844 , of the Leeds Friendly Loan Society , which was , in part , designed to make loans to wage-earners who wished to establish their own small businesses . The Leeds Intelligencer of August 1840 noted a number of other platforms on which Stansfeld stood : the entire separation of church and state ; expulsion of bishops from the House of Lords ; vote by ballot ; shortening the duration of parliaments ; abolition of church rates ; and the reform of ecclesiastical courts . State Education Stansfeld was a zealous advocate of state-assisted education and an opponent of Edward Baines who argued for voluntaryism in the provision of education . The question of whether educational provision should be voluntary or state supported proved to be a key issue in Leeds and , in 1847 , caused a split in Liberal ranks during the parliamentary election which returned ( perhaps against expectations ) William Beckett , a Conservative ; and James Garth Marshall , a Liberal whose election committee was chaired by Stansfeld . Edward Baines 's favoured candidate , the Radical Joseph Sturge , was not elected . Though Baines lost this contest , the " Bainesocracy " in municipal Leeds achieved a measure of payback when Stansfeld failed to be re-elected to the Leeds Corporation later in 1847 . Church Rates and the Church of England Stansfeld 's opposition to church rates placed him against Walter Hook , Vicar of Leeds , and Leeds Tories , who supported their reimposition . The Tories made a political issue of the dispute and , in April 1840 , launched a personal attack on Stansfeld , alleging that his position constituted a breach of the oath he had taken as Alderman , to ' ... never exercise any power authority or influence which I may possess by virtue of the office of Alderman to injure or weaken the Protestant Church.... ' The Tories first made an indirect and oblique criticism of Stansfeld within the Council chamber ; later , they organised an unsuccessful petition to The Marquess of Normanby , the Home Secretary , calling for Stansfeld 's removal as Alderman . Stansfeld defended himself by drawing the distinction between actions taken as Alderman , and those of a private individual . As was normal for the times , the dispute played out through correspondence in local newspapers . In 1843 , Stansfeld became embroiled in a theological controversy when Walter Hook publicly challenged an assertion Stansfeld had made in a speech , that a tract taking a Puseyite stance on matrimony had been published in Leeds . The incident played out via letters republished in local newspapers , and reflected a concern held in the town as to whether Hook , given his High Church views , could be considered a Protestant . Stansfeld , himself , was a Unitarian , and he laid the foundation stone of the 1848 Mill Hill Chapel in City Square , Leeds . Hydrotherapy and the Ben Rhydding Hydro Wharfedale Hydropathic Establishment and Ben Rhydding Hotel c. 1861 Stansfeld had travelled in Europe in 1843 , where he was introduced to , and persuaded of , the benefits of hydrotherapy as practiced by Vincenz Priessnitz in Gräfenberg , Austrian Silesia . In his advocation of hydrotherapy , Stansfeld was also joined by his brother-in-law , the writer , reformer , and activist Frederick Towgood ( 1807-1860 ) . Stansfeld was one of the first and principal shareholders in the establishment of the first custom-built hydropathic hotel , the Wharfedale Hydropathic Establishment and Ben Rhydding Hotel ( Ben Rhydding Hydro ) , in Ben Rhydding near Ilkley , West Yorkshire , which opened in 1844 . Money and Banking Stansfeld held strong notions on currency , and was a great advocate of paper money , issued by private banks , as a medium of exchange ; he found great fault with the Bank Charter Act 1844 which he saw as the cause of the commercial and banking crisis known as the panic of 1847 . He repeatedly put forward his ideas on these subjects in letters to newspapers and journals and in pamphlets which he distributed widely . His works included The Bane and Antidote of Our Monetary System ( 1857 ) and Money and the Money Market Explained ( 1860 ) . Personal life Stansfeld married Ellen , daughter of the English banker , industrialist , and papermaker , Matthew Towgood ( 1761-1831 ) , in 1845 . The Stansfelds resided at Headingley Lodge , Headingley and , in 1849 , bought The Grange at Burley in Wharfedale . Stansfeld retired from public life in about the late 1850s , and resided at Highfield in Windermere , Cumbria . He died on 9 June 1865 in Ilkley , and was buried in Westmorland . The author and reformer Samuel Smiles ( 1812-1904 ) , who had worked with Stansfeld on radical causes and counted him as a friend , was unstinting in his praise : Mr Stansfeld was a man for whom I had the greatest esteem . He was frank , free , and open , in all that he did . He possessed the courtesy of the true gentleman ; and withal he was intelligent , enlightened , and firm to his purpose . He was full of industry , integrity , and excellence . In a word , his character was sterling . As was said of some one — he had the whitest soul that ever I knew . Smiles 's assessment is matched by an 1845 anecdote in The Spectator , citing the Leeds Mercury : Several years since , the firm of Stansfeld , Briggs , and Stansfeld , of which Mr . Hamer Stansfeld was a junior partner , became unfortunate . Ever since that period , this gentleman has contemplated the payment , if Providence should prosper him , of his share of the debts owing by the above firm ; and just previous to his marriage , which took place a few weeks since , he sent round a circular to all his former creditors , accompanied by 20s . in the pound on his proportion of every debt . Such instances of mercantile honour as this should be widely known , in order that they may be both admired and imitated . Bibliography * Stansfeld , Hamer ( 1857 ) .
