BiographyThe Borough (or Borowe) family built a new house called Hulland Hall in 1777 on the estate they had purchased in 1690. After the family moved to Shropshire early in the 19th century, Hulland Hall was let to various tenants including members of the Mosley family until finally sold with the estate in 1960. 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. Castlefields estate at Derby and Litchurch purchased piecemeal by John Borowe's son Isaac Borrow, silk merchent, and passed to his second son Thomas Borrow (1709-1786). Thomas's son Thomas Borough (died 1838) moved to Chetwynd Park in Shropshire in 1803. His son John C Burton Borough inherited the Hulland estate.

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. Isaac Borrow (d. 1745) was the eldest son of John Borowe and his wife Mary. He married Mary Tempest in 1702 and became Mayor of Derby in 1730. The Borrow family owned land in Hulland near Ashbourne.
