HistoryThe Honour of Peveril is made up of the manors given to William Peverel by King William I in the late 11th century. The Honour was spread over the counties of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.
The Honour of Peveril seems to have been revived as a court for the recovery of small debts, with jurisdiction over many townships in the hundreds of Scarsdale and High Peak and the Wapentake of Wirksworth. Its jurisdiction seems to have included many places which were not part of the original Honour of Peveril.
