Trusley is a small village in the south of Derbyshire.
Many of the buildings in Trusley village date from the 18th century including All Saints Church built for William Coke in 1712.[1]
History
The manor was given to Henry de Ferrers together with many villages in Derbyshire for his contribution to the Norman Conquest.
Oliver De Odingsells purchased the Manor of Trusley from Ralph de Beufey in the reign of King Henry III [1216-72].
In 1418 a De Odingsells co-heiresses married Thomas Coke and from this time the Coke family came to live at Trusley.
The original homes of the Cokes' have long since vanished, however in 1904 Major General John Talbot Coke built a new Trusley Manor. In 1948, at the end of the second world war, Trusley Manor was reduced in size.
