Joseph Bentley Leyland (1811—1851) was a sculptor from Halifax, England. His brother was Francis A Leyland, the Halifax antiquarian and publisher, who designed the seal for Halifax Corporation and the Coat of Arms of Halifax.[1]
Joseph was a good friend of Branwell Brontë. Like him, his talent was largely unfulfilled. He was often in debt and died an alcoholic three years after Branwell.[citation needed] [2] Leyland introduced Bronte to an active artistic social group in Halifax. This included William Dearden, George Hogarth, John Nicholson, and John Wilson Anderson.[citation needed]
Well-known works
- Memorial to Stephen Beckwith in York Minster[3]
