I’m in need of any information on the Powdrill Family in England especially the Bedfordshire Derbyshire and Leicestershire areas. I am most interested in the Breedon on the Hill and Church Gresley, any information would be very much appreciated as I have now hit a brick wall and have a headache.

Part of the Powdrill family from Thrumpton Nottingham bought the Manor of West Hallam in Derbyshire about 1464. That family lived there until 1667 when the last male died and the estate passed to another family.

In 1581 Walter was imprisoned for his association with Father Campion a Jesuit Priest and his wife Cassandra was imprisoned for Recusancy. They both died on the same day in 1598. There is an Alabaster Alter Tomb in st Wilfreds Church West Hallam in their memory

The family originally came from France in 1066
