Ursula Le Guin.
Known as a science fiction writer but also wrote a libretto for something called Rigel 9. I have the CD! Music was by the composer David Bedford who was probably best known for his work with Mike ‘Tubular Bells’ Oldfield.

Morley's very own Ernie Wise, surely? He's got a statue, and everything.
Tim Firth, who, although not from Yorkshire, has strong connections to the county!
