Summary

[edit]
Description

Bust of John Tyas (1817-1895). He was a Conservative councillor for the Barnsley Corporation, and twice Mayor of Barnsley, serving 1870-1872, and 1883-1884. He was a solicitor, being partner in the Barnsley firm Tyas and Harrison from around 1845. He was clerk of the Barnsley Board of Guardians 1850-1893, and president of the English Church Union in Barnsley. He owned Edmunds and Swaithe Maine Collieries. The 1875 explosion at Swaithe mine shocked him, and subsequently he helped to establish the Miner's Permanent Relief Fund. At his death, he was said to have been "highly esteemed,". (Source of information: Sheffield Evening Telegraph, Tuesday 05 November 1895 p3 col3: Death of Mr. John Tyas of Barnsley)

Note: This bust was probably carved during one of Tyas' two periods as Mayor. As of 2017 this bust is in Experience Barnsley museum archive at Barnsley Town Hall, and not available to the public. It is lying on its back on a low trolley, so it had to be photographed from a stepladder and from floor level. Some images have been rotated so that it could be viewed as intended.
