William Priestley (wool clothier)

William Priestley (1779–1861)[1] was a Halifax wool clothier. He had a strong interest in music, especially German and his personal library housed many unusual items of German choral music, which had formed much of the early repertory of The Halifax Choral Society, with which he is credited with founding.
