Descent of manor At the time of the Domesday survey in 1086 Wessington belonged to Ralph Fitzhubert. It would appear that it was given by Ralph Fitzodo and Geoffrey de Constantin in the middle of the 12th century to the Abbey of Darley. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries, King Henry VIII granted it in 1544 to Thomas Babington. It was forfeited by the treason of Anthony Babington in 1586 and was granted to George, Earl of Shrewsbury. It passed after the death of Gilbert, the 6th Earl, to one of his co-heiresses, who married the Earl of Arundel. In 1657 it was sold by the Earl of Arundel to Richard Taylor and William Hill, whose grandsons still possessed it in 1760. It had become the joint property of Sir Robert Wilmot (who purchased John Hill’s moiety in 1800) and Daniel Hopkinson. his marriage to Anne Wensley during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.
