At the time of the Domesday survey in 1086, Hognaston was originally a berewick of Ashbourne, part of the King’s royal demesne. Not long afterwards it was granted to William de Ferrers, Earl of Derby. It was forfeited by the attainder after the defeat of Robert de Ferrers at the battle of Chesterfield in 1266. It was part of the lands granted by King Edward I to Edmund, Earl of Lancaster, becoming later part of the Duchy of Lancaster. Stephen de Segreave is believed to have been lord during the reign of Edward II. Its subsequent history is unclear, with several sources saying that it passed through several hands. It would seem that much of Hognaston became intermixed with the Duchy manor of Wirksworth, although part of Hognaston was in the manor of Holland alias Richmond, which later belonged to the Gell family. In 1546 King Henry VIII granted a messuage and lands which had been part of the estates of Rocester Abbey to Ralph Gell. In the 18th century there are court records for the manor of Hognaston, the lords being members of the Gell family. The Gells, later the Chandos-Pole-Gells, remained lords there from then on, with H.A. Chandos-Pole-Gell being recorded as lord in 1932.
