At the time of the Domesday survey in 1086, Offcote was a berewick of the manor of Ashbourne, which was part of the King’s lands, but Underwood did not appear in the Domesday survey. Although they were believed to be originally separate manors, they effectively became one manor at an early period. They belonged to the Earls of Derby and then to Edmund, Earl of Lancaster, from c.1269, later becoming part of the royal estates following the accession of the Lancastrian KingHenry IV. It was Charles I who granted them away. They became part of the property of the Newton family of Ashbourne Green Hall. One of the Newton co-heiresses brought the manor into the Hayne family. In 1817 it belonged to the daughter of the late John Hayne. Later in the 19th century it belonged to Mrs Williamson.
