History
At the time of the Domesday survey in 1086 Ilkeston was held by Osmund, as part of the lands of the King’s thanes, and by Malger under Gilbert de Gand. During the reign of King Henry I, Gilbert gave his manor to his steward, Sir Robert de Muskham, with whose descendants it remained for four generations. During the reign of King John the Muskham heiress married Sir Ralph (or Robert) de Gresley, and his daughter, Agnes, married Hubert Fitz Ralph family, During the reign of King Edward I, Eustacia, heiress of the Fitz Hughs, married Nicholas Cantilupe, whose grandson died seised of the manor in 1355. It passed by the marriage of Millicent, heiress of William, Lord Cantilupe, to the Zouch family. On the attainder of John, Lord Zouch in 1485, it was granted by King Henry VIII to Sir John Savage. It was purchased from his descendant, Sir Thomas Savage, in 1608 by Sir John Manners. It passed to Sir John’s son, George, then to John Manners, who became the 8th Earl of Rutland in 1641, whose son John Manners was created Duke of Rutland in 1703. The manor remained with the Dukes of Rutland into the 20th century.
