==History==
Wingerworth is first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as a community of fourteen houses of freemen.〔(Domesday Book Website ), accessed May 2012〕〔(Wingerworth Parish Council ), accessed May 2012〕 In the book it is called ''Wingreurde'', an Anglo-Saxon name meaning "King's Land."
For the bulk of the Middle Ages, the lords of Wingerworth Manor were the Brailsfords. After their stewardship, the lordship descended in a relatively uncertain manner to the Curzons of Kedleston Hall until finally coming under the lordship of the Hunloke Family. The seat of the Hunloke Family was at Wingerworth Hall, which was demolished in 1927 to make way for housing developments, as a buyer could not be found for the property. The Hall was also used as a Roundhead garrison during the English Civil War.〔
