According to Lysons and Bulmer the manor of Hardwick was given by King John to Andrew de Beauchamp in 1209. Crook makes no mention of this but firmly links the history of Hardwick with the manor of Stainsby, which was held by the Savage family from the 13th to 16th centuries. In 1257 Jocelin of Stainsby obtained an estate at Hardwick following a law suit in which he claimed a grant of it had been made by Robert Savage. This estate became part of what later constituted the manor of Hardwick. Jocelin of Stainsby, alias Jocelin de Haremere, died c.1268-1269, and was succeeded as lord of Hardwick by his son, William of Stainsby (died 1289). His son, Jocelin, was known as being either of Stainsby and Hardwick, and his descendants took on the Hardwick surname after him. The Hardwick family remained lords of the manor for several generations until Elizabeth (“Bess of Hardwick”), co-heiress of John Hardwick, brought the estate to her second husband, Sir William Cavendish, on their marriage in 1547. It then descended in the Cavendish family, later the Dukes of Devonshire, into the 20th century.
