BiographyThe Hallowes family may have originated in Hallows, Dronfield, but became prominent through the activities of Nathaniel Hallowes (1582-1661), probably son and heir of Thomas Hallowes of Derby. Nathaniel was an active Parliamentarian during the Civil War and Commonwealth periods and MP for Derby in the Short and Long Parliaments. He purchased two thirds of the manor of Dethick in 1636 (and the rest later) as well as other properties. The family established itself at Glapwell by the marriage of Samuel Hallowes and the heiress Elizabeth Woolhouse in the late 17th century.

The Hallowes family became prominent in the fourteenth century through the activities of Nathaniel Hallowes (1582-1661) who purchased substantial properties in Dethick, Muston (Leicestershire), Thornsett and Mugginton. In 1636 Nathaniel acquired two-thirds of the manor of Dethick, and the rest later. The family were established at Glapwell through the marriage of Samuel Hallowes to Elizabeth Woolhouse, the heiress, in the late seventeenth century. Samuel succeeded to the Hallowes estate on his father's death and his wife Elizabeth came into possession of the Glapwell estate on the death of her father Thomas Woolhouse circa 1698, but with reversion to her son Thomas on her death. She died circa 1721. Little further property was added to the Hallowes estate after the 17th century and the Leicestershire property was sold at the end of the 18th century. The Mugginton property was sold to Lord Scarsdale in 1893. By the end of the 19th century the Hallowes family was no longer at Glapwell but the main estate and Hall were probably sold only in 1920. The Dethick estates were sold to John B Marsden-Smedley in 1895.
