Sookholme history
Roman period
Numerous examples of Roman tile fragments have been found on several occasions in the field to the south of the pond known locally as the Sookholme Bath. These were first found in the 1930s and excavations throughout later decades were done but no kiln structures were found.
Priory
Before the Reformation the manor belonged to the Priory of St. Oswald, at Nostell, in Yorkshire, and was likely served by a branch establishment of the priory in Sookholme. There is a field near Longster Lane leading to Shirebrook containing a number of yew trees planted in the form of a square.
Sookholme Hall
Sokeholme Hall was previously on the site of Eyre’s farm-house, also known as present-day Hall Farm. At the beginning of the 19th century, part of the old hall still existed, and one of the upper rooms was said to be haunted by the ghost of a certain member of the Lukin family, who, according to tradition, committed suicide there.
Nettleworth Manor
Nettleworth Hall was the centrepiece of the manor and was built in 1566 by William Wylde. The hall was rebuilt following a fire in 1785 and was sold by the Wylde family to Sir Henry Gally Knight. It later passed to the FitzHerbert baronets and was in the ownership of the Neville family.
Post Reformation
After the English Reformation, Sookholme was granted to the Leek family. From them it descended to the Cavendishes, one of whom was the Duke of Newcastle. The manor later passed to the Dukes of Portland and the FitzHerbert family.
