Before the Norman Conquest Brassington was held by Siward, and at the time of the Domesday survey in 1086, it was one of the lands held by Henry de Ferrers. It remained with the Ferrers family until the attainder of Robert Ferrers in 1269, when it became part of the estates of the Earldom, later the Duchy of Lancaster. There were two lordships from an early period. The Furnivalls were lords of one of the manors (the other was commonly called the King’s Manor or Duchy Manor). In 1383 the lordship passed by the marriage of Joan, heiress of William Furnivall, to Thomas Neville. His heiress, Maud, married Sir John Talbot, later Earl of Shrewbury, in 1409. It remained with the Earls of Shrewsbury until 1616, when it passed to 3 co-heiresses married to the Earls of Kent, Pembroke and Arundel. By 1640 William Saville had purchased the whole of the lordship. His grandson, John Gilbert Cooper, sold it to Henry Coape in 1749, and from him it passed to his cousin Henry Sherbrooke. In 1804 William Sherbrooke sold it to Robert Lowe, who broke it up, selling off the lands in parcels.
