Newton-Grange
NEWTON-GRANGE, a hamlet, in the parish of Ashbourn, hundred of Wirksworth, S. division of the county of Derby, 4½ miles (N. by W.) from Ashbourn; containing 39 inhabitants. At the Domesday survey this was one of the manors of Henry de Ferrers, by whose descendant it was given to the abbey of Combermere, in Cheshire; it was granted at the Dissolution to the Cotton family, from whom it passed to the Bentleys. The Beresfords subsequently became possessed of the property, and on the death of Richard Beresford in 1790, it was sold in severalties. The area of the hamlet is 741 acres.
