| History | Brackenfield belonged to the Heriz family during the reign of King John. By the mid-14th century it was held by the Willoughby family under the Deincourts. It may have passed to the Revels during the 16th century. By the late 16th century the Willoughby interest in Brackenfield had been acquired by the Shrewsbury family. It later passed to the Wilmots of Chaddesden and then to the Wragg family, before belonging to the Turbutts of Ogston in the early 19th century. Gladwyn Turbutt was said to have succeeded to the lordship in 1964. |
