HistoryBroadlow Ash was, at the time of the Domesday survey in 1086, a berewick of Ashbourne and part of the King’s own lands. It was later held by the Cockaynes as part of the Duchy of Lancaster, in which it remained until 1608, when it was granted to Robert Cecil, Earl of Salisbury. In 1613 it was sold by the Earl of Salisbury to Judith Corbet, widow of William Boothby. She bequeathed the manor to her grandson, Sir William Boothby. The estate was sold by the Boothby family to Nicholas Twigge in 1754. It was later bequeathed by his grandson, Rev. T.F. Twigge, to Francis Thornhaugh Foljambe.
