History	At the time of the Domesday survey Alsop was a berewick of the manor of Parwich. It was granted by William de Ferrers, Earl of Derby (12th cent) to Gweno, son of Gamel de Alsop. His descendants held the lordship until the late 17th century. The situation is somewhat confused, but the manor is said to have been conveyed by Anthony Alsop to the Beresford family in c.1688. It then passed to the Milwards, and then by purchase to the Smiths of Hopton (in 1711), Poles of Nottingham (1753) and the Beresfords of Basford. It was purchased in the early 19th century from Francis Beresford of Ashbourne by John Brownson, who sold it to Walter Evans. In c1885 it was purchased by Sir Henry Allsopp, later 1st Baron Hindlip. The lordship remained with the Lord Hindlips until at least 1941.
