From an old descriptive: EDNASTON LODGE,

NEAR DERBY, DERBYSHIRE. - KINGDON

The Manor of Ednaston was, at an ancient date, given to the priory of Tutbury by Robert, Earl Ferrers. In 1542 it was conveyed to Francis Shirley, whose descendant, the father of the, present Earl Ferrers, resided at Ednaston Lodge. Mr Kingdon acquired this estate by purchase in 1872, and afterwards considerably improved it and added a new wing to the mansion. The Manor of Ednaston went with the estate. The family of Kingdon was seated at Trehunsey, in Cornwall, for many generations before 1400. Roger Kingdon died at Trehunsey, 1471. - ........
