At the time of the Domesday survey in 1086 Bradbourne was part of the lands of Henry de Ferrers. In c1100 it was given to the Cauceis family. During the reign of King John it was given by Sir Geoffrey de Cauceis to Godard de Bradbourne. It remained with the Bradbourne family down into the late 16th century, when it passed to Jane, the heiress of Sir Humphrey Bradbourne (died 1581) who married Sir Humphrey Ferrers in 1584.It remained with the Ferrers family until the death of another Sir Humphrey Ferrers in1684, when it passed to his daughter Jane, who married Robert Shirley, later Earl Ferrers. It passed via the marriage of his grand-daughter to James Compton, 5th Earl of Northampton, whose daughter married George Townshend, 1st Marquess Townshend. In 1809 George Ferrers Townshend, 3rd Marquess Townshend, sold the manor to Philip Gell. The manor was put up for sale in 1836, after which William Eaton Mousley would seem to have become lord. By 1876 Sir William Fitzherbert held the lordship, and it remained with the Fitzherberts until at least 1928.
