ASHOVER (RERESBY) MANOR

Identity: confirmed — The registry's alternative names match the documented Ashover New Hall, later Eastwood Hall, which was the Reresby moiety of the divided manor of Ashover. Derbyshire sources identify Eastwood Hall as a former manor house formed from a sub-infeudation of Ashover and as the seat of the Reresby family.
Representative point: 53.16131, -1.46568
Basis: documented_manor_house — Eastwood Hall, formerly New Hall and associated with the Reresby moiety, survives as a documented manor-house ruin at National Grid Reference SK 35828 62817.
Point confidence: high
Boundary status: representative_point_only
Boundary period: Medieval to early modern; no securely mapped period-specific perimeter located
Boundary confidence: none
Boundary basis: The evidence establishes the manor-house site and identifies the Reresby holding as one of the subdivisions or moieties of the wider manor of Ashover. It does not provide a documented or reconstructable perimeter for the Reresby manorial lands. The Ashover parish or civil-parish boundary must not be substituted for the manor boundary.

- The representative point is suitable for locating the manor house/site, but not for inferring the full historical extent of the manor.
- Do not substitute the modern Ashover civil-parish boundary or the extent of the wider historical manor of Ashover for the Reresby manor boundary.
