History	At the time of the Domesday survey in 1086, Cold Eaton was a berewick or hamlet in the manor of Parwich. It was supposedly granted by King John to William Ferrers, but following the attainder of his great-grandson, it was given to Edmund, Earl of Lancaster. The manor became part of the Duchy of Lancaster and remained so, with it being held under the Duchy by the Wensely family into the late 15th century. By 1518 it appears to have belonged to the Vernons of Haddon Hall, with the great part descending to the Duke of Rutland and a quarter of a moiety being held by the Boothby family, which was the property of Anthony Beresford by 1817.
