About Charles Francis Tetley
Charles Francis Tetley (1848–1934) - the eldest of Francis William's six surviving sons, was born at Foxhill, Weetwood, near Leeds, on 24 October 1848. Unlike his father and grandfather, about whose education no details are known, he and two of his brothers (who went on to be employed in the firm as company secretary and head brewer respectively) attended Leeds grammar school and Harrow. In 1868 he went on to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated in 1872 with honours in the classical tripos. After spending a year learning the trade at two southern breweries he joined the Tetley firm in 1873. On 2 June 1875 he married Alice Margaret (b. 1852/3), daughter of John William Atkinson, a Leeds solicitor; they had three sons and a daughter.
Charles Francis Tetley was made a partner in the brewery in 1877, and became chairman of the incorporated company in 1902. He was the first member of the business to play a significant part in Leeds politics, being elected to Leeds city council as a Conservative in 1895 and serving as lord mayor two years afterwards. In 1926 he was made a freeman of the city. He was prominent, as were later members of the Tetley family, in many aspects of the city's life, especially its fledgeling university. For fifty years a member of its governing body, he made benefactions to the University of Leeds, and was awarded an honorary doctorate in 1922. He was also for fifty years a churchwarden of St Michael's, Headingley.
He died at Foxhill on 25 January 1934 and was buried at Lawnswood cemetery.Charles
Obituary 26 January 1934
Mr C F Tetley, the head of Messrs Joshua Tetley and son, Limited, brewers, of Leeds, died yesterday at the age of 85. He was the second man to become Lord Mayor of Leeds. The city gave him all the honours it could. The freedom was conferred upon him seven years ago and in the same year he declined the honour of baronetcy. Mr Tetley gave large sums for charities and he was also the anonymous donor of gifts to many good causes. Some years ago he gave 20,000pds to Leeds University, which conferred upon him an honorary degree, and for over 50 years he was a member of the governing body. He was a strong Churchman and gave generously to various churches in Leeds. He leaves three sons and one daughter. One of his sons Colonel C H Tetley is the Pro-Chancellor of Leeds University
