	GENUKI: Londesborough Parish information from Bulmers' 1892.
		The Earl of Londesborough is lord of the manor and owner of the whole parish, with the exception of the glebe.
		The lordship of Londesborough was anciently held of the archbishops of York by the FitzHerberts, and it afterwards passed, in the reign of Richard II., to the Bromfletes.
		Denison himself, to whom the noble house of Londesborough thus owes its rise, was one of the marvels of fortune.

	Chatsworth House - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The front entrance was on the west or river side, which was embellished with four towers or turrets, and the great hall, still the focus of the house in the medieval tradition, was on the east side of the courtyard where the painted hall is now.
		There is a Latin transcription over the fireplace in the painted hall which reads in translation, "William Spencer, Duke of Devonshire, inherited this most beautiful house from his father in the year 1811, which had been begun in the year of English liberty 1688, and completed it in the year of his bereavement 1840".
		The Duke wrote that he was tempted to demolish the state apartment, which was then seen as gloomy and dull, to make way for new best bedrooms but he did not do so (at around the same time Queen Victoria decided that Hampton Court, with its state apartments in the same style, was uninhabitable).
