Henry is a great grandson of Jane Darley (1673-1735) who had Aldy Park House built about 1725. The house replaced a Tudor one, on an ancient site believed to be where Edwin of Northumbria was crowned King in 625 AD.
Jane's brother, Thomas Darley, purchased an Arabian horse from Syria, about 1703, known as the Darley Arabian. This single horse became the most important sire in the history of the English thoroughbred, and ancestor of 95% of modern thoroughbred racehorses.
