We have seen thousands of legal agreements over the years, but never seen a legal agreement for a council to send it?s Fire Brigade to attend a property in the event of a fire, We can only assume Denton Hall being outside the area where Ilkley Fire Brigade legally allowed to attend. At this time, many stately & large estates had their own staff and some fire equipment, often on wheels to use in the event of a fire. The written history of Denton Hall /Estate goes back to at least 1253, The current hall dates to the 1770s set in a 2,500-acre estate. Sir John Ibbetson commissioned John Carr of York, an associate of the famous architect Robert Adam, to build the hall which was completed in 1778. In 1925 the hall was bought by Arthur Hill from Baron Albert Illingworth. N° de ref. del artículo 003653
