Corporate DS/UK/M/3647 Hathersage; Manor of Bamford; Manor Manor of Bamford Manor Hathersage

At the time of the Domesday survey in 1086 Bamford was held by Ralph Fitzhubert as an outlier of Hathersage. It would seem that it came into the possession of the Furnivals, with Elizabeth Furnival holding the manor in dower as the widow of Thomas Furnival in c1355. It is possible that it passed via the Furnivals and Nevilles to the Talbots. In the mid-15th century it belonged to the Talbots, Earls of Shrewsbury, and it seems to have remained with them into the middle of the 17th century. It seems to have belonged to the Bacon family later in the 17th century. There also seems to have been competing claims in the late 18th century involving the Cecils, Archers and Mortimers. In 1756 Hannah Sophia, Countess of Exeter, is recorded as lady of the manor. In 1802 Francis Evans was said to be lord of the manor, and in 1817 to Francis Melland and Daniel Prime. Trade directories record Mr Walesby, Mr Robinson and Mr Hancock as joint lords of the manor in 1829, and John Walesby, John S.A. Shuttleworth and Charles Henry Robinson in 1846.
