Here, Abraham Sharpe, a philosopher and mechanist, and an excellent calculator resided, where his great variety of mechanical instruments had been hoarded up, with care, by his descendants, for years; but now, 1817, in danger, says Dr. Whitaker, of being lost, as well as his MSS. without being known to the public. He died in 1742, aged 92.
Whitaker's Loidis and Elmete says, on inserting the epitaph "of the Indefatigable mathematician, Mr. Abraham Sharpe; that Ludolph Van Ceulan, a Dutchman, computed the quadrature of the circle to 136 places of decimals, and had the process Inscribed upon his tomb. Our countryman far (but I forgot how far) surpassed him, yet has a much shorter epitaph. The long duration of his life proves that the pursuits of abstract science have no necessary tendency to exhaust the constitution."

His (then and now) radical ideas included making provision for the needs of his workers in the shape of the village of Saltaire, built to accommodate the work force of his cloth-making mill. Saltaire village is well worth a visit if you're passing, even if social history is not your thing. This is a housing estate quite unlike anything else you're going to see (except for the historically and architecturally similar village of Bourneville in Birmingham). Beautifully laid out homes and recreation area on the River Aire. (Summary of various sources - Colin Hinson 1999)."
