editDescriptionLeeds Central Library 21 February 2019 (77c).JPG |
This carving by one of a team led by John Wormald Appleyard is in the interior of the former Municipal Buildings (now the Central Library), Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It was built 1878-1884 to the design of George Corson. Showing roundel carved in Caen stone above doorway to original rates and payments room (now lending library). It shows a "debtor pleading before his Judge as in the olden times," as described in the Leeds Mercury, 12 April 1884. Update 9 March 2022: This is the credit-roundel plaque which had long been believed missing, and as of 2022 is now identified. It is by John Wormald Appleyard, and has been there all along, inside one of the arches around the entrance hall, between the stairways. It illustrates Leeds ratepayers, paying their dues in medieval costume. However, the man on the right is Appleyard, holding his attribute, a block of stone. Centre back, is George Corson, the architect. In the scribe's ledger is written "1883 Appleyard fecit" on the left-hand page, and "G. Corson architect" on the right, and that constitutes, discreetly, a credit for the work. A picture of this roundel features on the back cover of Wrathmell, Susan (2005), Pevsner Architectural Guides: Leeds (Yale University Press, London), however the plaque is not identified on the cover as the credit-roundel. |
