Extract from "The Yorkshire Archaeological Journal"  
Follifoot, Yorkshire
Terrible fire in 1804.  

Represented upon the humble petition of John Cullingworth of Follifoot. That on 10 December 1804, a sudden and terrible fire accidentally broke out upon the premises of John Cullingworth, which in a short time, notwithstanding the utmost endeavours of the said poor sufferer and his neighbours, consumed 416 yards of hay, twelve acres of corn and also a quantity of wood proper for husbandry, by the oath of John Simpson, Thomas Pick and John Pulleine, three of the most substantial inhabitants of the town of Follifoot, who made a moderate estimate of the loss amounting to £306 and upwards, by which shocking accident the said John Cullingworth and his wife and seven children are reduced to extreme want and poverty. Collection throughout England, Berwick-upon-Tweed, and Denbigh, Flint and Radnor, and house to house throughout the counties of York, Cumberland, Northumberland, Westmorland, Durham, Derby, Nottingham, Lincoln, Chester and Lancaster.

Trustees and Receivers: Thomas Turner Slingsby, baronet, Sir John Ingilby, baronet, John Tripp, clerk, Doctor of Laws, William Bentley, William Manby, Francis Fairbank, John Pullan, William Stevenson and John Stevenson Salt, gentlemen

25 June 46 Geo: III (1806). (B.,xlvi, 8.)
