Corporate DS/UK/M/3644 Ashover; Manor of Reresby; Manor Manor of Reresby Manor Ashover

At the time of the Domesday Ashover belonged to Ralph Fitzhubert and was held by Serlo, whose descendants took the name Plesley and held it until c1200. The manor was then shared between the Deincourt and Willoughby families and then further subdivided on a number of occasions. There were essentially three moieties called Ashover Old Hall alias Pershall, Ashover New Hall alias Reresby and Ashover Babington alias Pierpoint alias Gorse Hall. The Reresby moiety was originally part of the Willoughby share. It belonged to Ralph de Reresby in the mid-13th century and remained with that family until mortgaged in the reign of James I. It appears that it was purchased in 1625 by Immanuel Bourne, Rector of Ashover, although it remained the subject of much litigation for many years after. In 1771 it was claimed to belong to Reverend Laurence Bourne as a third of the manor of Ashover. By this time there were no courts being held at all in Ashover for any of the manors In the inclosure act of 1779 the lords of the manor were named as Rev. Laurence Bourne, Robert Banks Hodgkinson, Sir Thomas George Hodgkinson (as devisee of the late Godfrey Bagnall Clarke), John Bourne, the Duke of Devonshire, Henry Hunloke, John Woodyeare and Sarah Bower.
