During the civil war in October 1644, during the reign of Charles I, the manor-house was garrisoned for the parliament, and a skirmish took place in the neighbourhood between these forces and the royal troops from Tutbury Castle.[2] This manor house, Barton Hall was the home of Francis Bradshaw who was High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1851.[3]
