HistoryBefore the Conquest, the Anglo-Saxon Tochi held the manor of Hoilant (Holland or Hulland). In the 1086 Domesday Survey it is listed with Ednaston as a manor of Geoffrey de Alselin. The manor was held by the de Ferrers family until their rebellion in 1266 when their estates were forfeited to Henry III and granted to Edmund Crouchback of Lancaster. From 1298, Hulland (as Holland) appears consistently as a manor within the group known as Duffield Fee. It also lay within the Forest area of Duffield Frith. The Fee remained with the Duchy of Lancaster, which passed to the Crown in 1399, until Charles I granted it to the Corporation of the City of London in 1628. The following year, the Corporation sold the Fee (except Heage and Holbrook) to Sir Edward Leche whose son Sir William Leech inherited in 1652. During disputes following William’s death in 1673, Sir Ambrose Phillips held Lordship 1674-78 followed by Philip Jodrell. His son Paul’s ownership of the Fee was confirmed in 1686. The Fee remained with the Jodrell family until 1891 when it was conveyed to Sir Timothy White who had purchased the reversion of Jodrell estates in 1888. The lordship remained with the White family until at least 1957.

In 1250 records show the first mention of another manor named ‘le Hough’, either within or next to Hulland manor, being granted by Robert de Ferrers to Robert of Ashbourne, and from then on it appears in records as a sub-manor or estate within Hulland manor (a 1415 Duchy of Lancaster rental shows, under the heading of ‘Holand’, the manor of ‘Hogh’ held by John of Bradbourne).
