| Administrative History | The Mundy family were based at Markeaton, Mackworth and Allestree. The estate had been bought in the early sixteenth century from the Touchet family by Sir John Mundy, Lord Mayor of London 1522-1523, who claimed Derbyshire family connections. His descendants were connected with Markeaton until the early twentieth century. Edward Mundy was descended from a younger son of John Mundy of Markeaton, great great grandson of Sir John. |
