14 ON THE TUTBURY HORN. 



With regard to the subsequent descent of the Tutbury horn, it 

 may be briefly stated .that on the marriage of an heiress of Agard 

 in the 1 7th century, with a Stanhope of Elvaston, it was conveyed 

 to the latter family. A subsequent Stanhope sold it, with the 

 offices pertaining, in 1753, to Samuel Foxlowe of Staveley Hall, 

 whose son, Rev. F. Foxlowe, willed it to his widow. From Mrs. 

 Foxlowe it passed to her husband's nephew by marriage, Henry 

 Marwood Greaves, of Hesley Hall, Notts., and, in right of his wife 

 (sole heiress of Bagshawe), of Banner Cross and Ford Hall. Mr. 

 Greaves, by right of this horn, appointed the late Coroner of the 

 High Peak, Mr. Francis Grey Bennett. On Mr. Greaves's death, 

 in 1859, his eldest son, William Henry Greaves (who assumed 

 the name of Bagshawe in 1853), succeeded to the horn, and ap- 

 pointed the present Coroner, Dr. Robert Bennett. 



It is not a little remarkable, considering the manner of the 

 descent of this horn, that the crest of Bagshawe, of Ford Hall, is 

 an arm grasping a bugle-horn, and that the arms are a bugle-horn 

 between three roses. Equally remarkable, also, in this connection, 

 are the incidents of the Bagshawe pedigree. Mr. W. H. G. 

 Bagshawe can claim descent from each of the three great 

 families before-mentioned, which successively held the manor of 

 Tutbury, viz. : (1) from the Earls of Derby of the Ferrers line, 

 through the marriage of Samuel Bagshawe, of Ford Hall, who 

 died 1712 ; and (2) from the Plantagenets, Earls of Lancaster, 

 and (3) from John of Gaunt, through the marriage of Colonel 

 Samuel Bagshawe, who died 1762.
