| Administrative History | John Borowe (1635-1707) bought an estate at Hulland in the late 17th century and built a mansion there, now called Hulland Old Hall. The estate at Hulland, plus other lands at Alsop en le Dale and at Musden Grange in Staffordshire, passed firstly to his son Isaac Borrow, who was Mayor of Derby in 1730, and then to Isaac's son by his first marriage, John Tempest Borrow (1702-1780), who built Hulland New Hall.
Meanwhile Isaac Borrow and his second son Thomas Borrow (1709-1786) built up an estate in and around Litchurch (Derby), based around their mansion house called Castlefields, the site of which is now covered by industrial premises adjoining Derby railway station.
Thomas Borrow's son, also called Thomas, changed the family name to Borough and relocated to Chetwynd Park in Shropshire in 1803. He became tenant for life of the Hulland estate on the death of his cousin John Borrow in 1825, and after his own death in 1838 it passed to his son John C Burton Borough. |
