In the 13th century Robert-de-la-Ward was in possession of the manors of Stanton, Newhall and Heathcote.These estates passed by marriage to the Meynall family and in 1389 a Margaret Meynall married a Roger (also known as John) Dethick of Dethick Derbyshire and took up residence at Newhall Manor. The Dethick name disappeared from the area with the death of Humphrey Dethick in 1599. - Read more
