Hamer Stansfeld

Hamer Stansfeld (17 February 1797 – 1865) was a British merchant associated with Leeds, where he was an alderman, and mayor in 1843. He was known in his time as a justice of the peace in West Yorkshire; as a Liberal radical, prominent in the Anti-Corn Law League and as a proponent of the extension of the electoral franchise and of state funded education. He was also known for a dispute played out in the local press with Walter Hook, vicar of Leeds and a High Churchman and Tractarian; and for his writings on currency and money supply.

Stansfeld led the development of the Ben Rhydding Hydro, the first custom-built hydropathic hotel established in 1844. Provided by Wikipedia
