History	Descent of manor At the time of the Domesday survey Youlgreave was one of the manors which belonged to Henry de Ferrers. It was then seem to have remained one of the Ferrers’ manors before becoming part of the estates of the earls of Lancaster, then of the Duchy of Lancaster. In c.1297 the manor was held of the Earl of Lancaster by Ralph de Shirley. It is said to have afterwards become part of the property of family of Gilbert alias Kniveton. In 1629 it passed from the ownership of the Gilbert family by marriage to Charles Barnesley. It became the property of the Buxtons, who sold it in 1685 to John Manners, Earl of Rutland. The manor remained the property of the Earls of Rutland, later the Dukes of Rutland, into the 20th century. The Duke of Rutland was still being referred to as lord of the manor in 1993. Nature of jurisdiction Barmoot courts (for lead mining) were historically held for Youlgreave.
