Sir Robert Peel, PM

MP and Prime Minister in the 1830s and 40s. Reorganised the London police force and hence gave rise to the expressions "Peelers" and "Bobbies" for the police. He based the new structure on that of the City of London Police, which carried on as a separate force. One of the Commissioners for the Great Exhibition, 1851.

2nd baronet. Born at Chamber Hall, Bury, Lancashire. Son of Sir Robert Peel, also a politician. Died at his home at Whitehall Gardens, following a fall from a horse on Constitution Hill.

There was , but since redevelopment in 2016 we are not sure of its whereabouts. And there's a statue in Leeds.
