Daniel Gaskell, Wakefield’s first MP who lived at Lupset Hall. In 1843 he founded a school in Horbury located on the corner of New Road and New Street. That closed in 1923 . The Daniel Gaskell Educational Trust still gives grants to schools and individuals living in Horbury. This portrait was stitched in petit point by Margaret Parkin
