During the reign of King John (1199-1216) it came into the possession of the Savage family. It remained with the Savage family until 1580-1581, when it was conveyed to Sir Thomas Bromley, Lord Chancellor. Soon afterwards, BromIey sold the manor to Sir William Cavendish. The lordship remained with the Cavendish family, later the Dukes of Devonshire, into the mid-20th century. Geographical extent It covered the village of Stainsby as well as Domesday manors of Lund (in Heath), Oldcotes (alias Caldecote, also likely to be in Heath) and Tunstall.
