  • Notes 
    • Early Life
      Darnton Lupton was born on the 20th of July 1806 in Leeds, the eldest son and second child of William Lupton and Ann Darnton. He was baptised on the 7th of November that year; the Lupton family were non-Conformists and Darnton and his siblings were all baptised at the Chapel, an Arian Independent (i.e. not Anglican) church. Darnton's unusual first name was clearly taken from his mother's surname.

      Career
      Darnton followed his family into merchantry and general commerce. He was a director of the Bank of Leeds and in 1844, aged 38, Darnton became mayor of Leeds. At the Paris Exhibition of 1855 he was created a Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur, by Napoleon III. He was also a magistrate (J.P).

      Family Life
      Darnton married twice: firstly his cousin Sarah Darnton Luccock, daughter of his father's business partner John Luccock, by whom he had one child, Kate (later Baroness von Schunck) in 1832. However, Sarah Luccock died soon after in 1834, and four years later Darnton remarried Anna Jane Busk, the daughter of a British merchant out of St Petersburg in Russia and grand-daughter of Sir Wadsworth Busk, one-time Attorney General for the Isle of Man. Their wedding, on the 1st of May 1838, was held in Bradford Cathedral. With Anna, Darnton had five children:
      1. Darnton, his namesake, born 1842
      2. William Walter, born 1844
      3. Alan, born 1846 and who married Emma Buckton
      4. Sydney, born 1850
      5. Percival, born 1853 but who died aged 4
      6. Bertram Neville, born 1858 but who died aged 10

      Death
      Darnton died in Leeds on the 11th of December 18732, aged 67. His will was executed on the 23rd of January the following year by his sons William Walter and Sydney.

      Residences
      • 1840s: Potternewton Hall3,5 Darnton and Anna lived there for a time; his son Alan was born there and most likely the other children too. However, by 1860 Darnton's brother Francis had bought the Freehold.
      • 1855: Darnton leased4 the Harehills House and Estate, naming the dower house "Bleak House". The Harehills, on Harehill Lane, is given as his place of residence in the 1861 and and 1871 censuses. After his death in 1874 the estate was sold but Anna, Darnton's widow, was allowed to stay there until her death in 1888.
      • In the 1860s1, Arthur Lupton (Darnton's younger brother, b. 1809, owner of Newton Hall) gave to his brothers Darnton and Francis some land on the estate so they could build homes for their heirs. The two brothers appointed an architect to design a residential development in the southern part of the estate. Ultimately, Darnton died before the designs were executed. However, the Newton Hall Estate still exists and the entrance can be seen here.

      Both Newton and Potternewton Halls were demolished by the Second World War and replaced with a large housing estate.
