History	At the time of the Domesday survey in 1086, Linton was part of the lands of Henry de Ferrers. Its descent is not clear. According to Lysons it was later held by the Seagraves. It passed via female heirs to the Mowbray family (time of Henry IV) and then to the Berkeleys (time of Elizabeth I). Lysons claims that it was purchased, c.1658, from Humphrey Berkeley by Sir William Gresley. The manor would seem to have remained with the Gresleys, who may have also held a fee in Linton during the medieval period. In Bagshaw’s Directory of Derbyshire in 1846 Henry Brown is referred to as lord of the manor.
