Anthony Eyre (bap. 1508) a great grandson of Roger Eyre of Holme Hall, married Elizabeth Pole of Radborn, Derbyshire. They had taken residence at Kiverton and Laughton in Yorkshire. Anthony and his first son Gervase Eyre (bap.1545) purchased the property of Newbold.

The great manor of Newbold, described in the Domesday survey as having six berwicks, of which Chesterfield was one, was parcel of the ancient demesne of the crown. It afterwards belonged to the abbot and convent of Welbeck. At the time of the dissolution of the monasteries, it was parcel of the possessions of Beauchief Abbey, and it appears to have been granted to Sir William West whose son John West sold it in 1570 to Anthony and Gervase Eyre.

Sir Gervase Eyre (bap.1599) grandson of Gervase Eyre of Newbold manor. Sir Gervase Eyre married Elizabeth Babington heiress of Rampton, Nottinghamshire. He became Col Sir Gervase Eyre governor of Newark Castle on behalf of King Charles in the civil war. He was killed in the defence of Newark Castle. His line produce two eminent military men, Vice Admiral Sir George Eyre, KCB, KCMG and General Sir William Eyre, KCB (1805-1859).
