History
The Hazlerigg family dates to the 13th century, when Simon de Hesilrige was Valectus to Edward I.The Noseley estate came into the family through the marriage of Thomas of Fawdon and Isabel Heron in the late 13th/ early 14th century.The most famous Sir Arthur Hazlerigg was one of the five members of Parliament who led the Parliamentary rebellion against King Charles I in 1642. It is alleged that Cromwell prepared for the Battle of Naseby at Noseley. The Chapel, which still stands in the grounds, was said to have made an excellent stable for his horses. At the Restoration Sir Arthur was committed to the Tower, where he eventually died.
