DENTON-HALL, (Yorkshire, W.R.) on the N. W. side of Otley, was the seat of the Pt's. General Fairfax, which Prince Rupert
was about to demolish, but, on sight of a picture of one of the General's worthy ancestors, was happily saved. It was
indeed burnt down afterwards by accident, but rebuilt by Mr. Ibbotson, the present possessor; and has this remarkable
motto: Quod nec Jovis ira, nec ignis, Nec poterit ferrum.
