HistoryAt the time of the Domesday survey in 1086 Glossop belonged to the lordship of Longdendale. King Henry I granted Glossop to William Peverel, whose son was attainted in 1154, returning it to royal control. In 1157 King Henry II gave it to the Abbey of Basingwerk in Flintshire, North Wales. Following the abbey’s dissolution, the manor of Glossop was granted in 1537 by King Henry VIII to George, Earl of Shrewsbury. On the death of Gilbert, Earl of Shrewsbury, in 1616, it passed to his daughter and co-heir, Alathea Talbot, wife of Thomas Howard, 2nd Earl of Arundel. Their descendants, later Dukes of Norfolk, remained lords of the manor well into the 20th century, with Lord Howard still being described as lord of the manor in a 1925 Kelly’s trade directory.
