  Farnley Hall (West Yorkshire) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Farnley Hall in west Leeds was built in Elizabethan times by the Danbys who owned part of the manor and the hall until 1800 when it was sold to the Armitages.
The Hall was acquired by the Leeds City Council and its grounds are now a public park, Farnley Hall Park.
There are fairly intact remains in the parkland at Farnley, although the current layout is early 19th century.

 The Marriage of Guy Fawkes and Maria Pulleyn
Fraser agrees with the premise that the plausibility of a marriage between the Fawkes and Pulleyn families is certainly well-founded.
Guy Fawkes most probably moved to Timble Hall in the village of Scotton between 18 April 1587 (the date recorded for the burial of Joan, the first wife of Dionysius Bainbridge) and 2 February 1589 (the date of a conveyance of land from Dionysius to his mother Frances, co-signed by his wife Edith, Guy's mother).
Her second marriage was to Philip Bainbridge of Wheatley Hall, and finally she married as her third husband, Anne Pulleyn's nephew, Walter Pulleyn of Scotton and Timble.

 Ruskin MP I Notes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
One of Turner 's best patrons was Walter Ramsden Hawkesworth Fawkes (1769-1825) of Farnley Hall, near Otley, Yorkshire.
Turner was a regular visitor to Farnley, and after Fawkes's death in 1825 'could not speak of the shores of Wharfe,' the river which the house overlooks, 'but his voice faltered' (Works, 12.liv).
At the time of writing Modern Painters I, Ruskin may not have been aware of Fawkes's death: either this, or the reference is a slip of the pen for his son Francis Hawkesworth Fawkes (1797-1871).

This set of 20 watercolour bird studies is probably a legacy of Turner's second visit to Walter Fawkes' home of Farnley Hall in 1810.
Fawkes had been Turner's most important patron since about 1803, and had bought a considerable number of his watercolours and oil paintings.
The relationship with the Fawkes family was one of the most important of Turner's life and it was considered desirable that this, together with Fawkes' patronage, should be represented in a Yorkshire collection.
