Newbold branch of the Eyre Family
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.
