At the time of the Domesday survey in 1086 Barlow was held by Ascuit Musard. By the reign of Edward I it belonged to the Abitot of Abetoft family, who soon afterwards took the name of the place, Barley. The manor remained with the Barlow family until 1596, when it was purchased by George, Earl of Shrewsbury (in the face of much opposition from Rowland Eyre of Hassop, who also claimed to be lord). A little later it was purchased by William Cavendish, Earl of Newcastle. It descended, by heiresses, through John Holles, Duke of Newcastle (1691), Edward Harley, Earl of Oxford (1711), and William Bentinck, Duke of Portland (1741). In 1813 it came into the possession of the Duke of Rutland, who exchanged it with Whitwell. The lordship remained with the Dukes of Rutland until at least 1936.
