| History | At the time of the Domesday Survey in 1086 the manor of Hope was part of the ancient demesnes of the King, with the berewicks of Edale, Aston, Shatton, Offerton, Tideswell and Stoke. According to Lysons it would seem afterwards to have been regarded as part of the manor of High Peak and later as part of Castleton, and was said to have been held on lease by the Dukes of Devonshire in the 19th century.
The manor of Hope would seem to be based on what was originally the manor of the rectory of Hope. The church of Hope, with its rectory manor and the chapel of Tideswell, was given by King John to the Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield and subsequently transferred to the Dean and Chapter of Lichfield. In the reign of King Edward VI the rectoral manor was granted by the Dean and Chapter to Ralph Gell. The various court books name members of the Gell family as being lords from at least 1736 to 1801. Members of the Hall family are then recorded as lords of Hope, starting with Micah Hall in 1803, until 1887. The Dukes of Devonshire then seem to have been lords into the 20th century. |
