HOPTON HALL AND THE GELL FAMILY
Hopton Hall is the ancestral home of the Gell
family, one of the oldest families in England with a
tradition of service in the Army, Navy, Parliament
and the Church. The earliest record of the name is
that of a Robert Gyll who was a juror at an inquest
in nearby Wirksworth in 1209, in the reign of King
John. In 1371, Robert Gyle de Hopton is recorded
as having leased land in the village. His son, Ralph,
is mentioned as Tenant in Chief and named as
being among the 'Gentry of Derbyshire'. He died
in 1433, leaving a son, John Gelle. John died in
1471, leaving two sons, Ralph and Thomas, who
spelt the name Gell and it has remained that way
ever since.
It is recorded that Ralph Gell 'held the whole of
the township of Hopton and that all the people of
the township were his tenants'. He died in 1508
and was succeeded by his son, John, who died in
1521, leaving a son, another Ralph Gell, who
acquired more land including Rocester Abbey,
Darley Abbey and the Royal Manor of Hollands or
Richmonds. This manor had previously been
granted to the Hollands and the Lancastrian Earls
of Derby and Richmond.
---Page 006-----------------------------------------------
Ralph Gell married twice and had two sons,
Anthony and Thomas, by his first wife. Anthony,
the elder, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth 1. He
was a Bencher of the Inner Temple and built the
east wing of Hopton Hall. He also built the
Almshouses and a free school in Wirksworth. It
was to Anthony that the grant of Arms - blazoned
party per bend azure and or, three mullets of six
points in bend pierced counterchanged and the
crest on a wreath, a greyhound, statant, sable
collared or - was made in 1575. Anthony died in
1579 and was succeeded by Thomas, who is
recorded as having given £50 to the Spanish
Armada Defence Fund.
His brother Thomas Gell married Millicent Sache
verell, daughter of - Sir Ralph Sacheverell, an
ancestress of Lord Scarsdale, and their elder son,
John became famous during the civil wars. John
Gell was born in 1593 and matriculated as a
commoner of Magdallen College, Oxford, but left
the university before taking a degree. He was
married for the first time when aged only 16 to
Elizabeth, the daughter of Sir Percival Willoughby
of Woolaton, Nottinghamshire, and succeeded to
Hopton on reaching his majority, the hall having
stood empty for the previous 19 years. In 1636, he
became Sheriff of Derbyshire and in 1641, he was
created a baronet by Charles 1.
However, John was a strong Parliamentarian and
disagreed with the way the King wished to rule
without Parliament, so, he took the side of Oliver
Cromwell's Roundheads against the King's Cava
liers. Together with the Earl of Essex, he raised a
regiment of foot for the Parliament and occupied
and defended Derby, being appointed governor of
the town in 1643. Sir John's soldiers were
described as 'good, stout-fighting men, but the
most licentious, ungovernable wretches that be
longed to the Parliament. He himself nor no man
knows for what reason he chose that side, for he
had not understanding enough to judge the equity
of the cause, nor piety, nor holiness, being a foul
adulterer all the time he served the Parliament,
and so unjust that without any remorse he suffered
his men to plunder both honest men and Cavaliers'.
Whatever Sir John's moral defects may have been,
he was one of the most active commanders in the
service of the Parliament. He captured many of the
fortified homes of the Royalists, held Derby
throughout the war and greatly contributed to the
maintenance of Leicester and Nottingham. The
most notable of his services were his share in the
capture of Lichfield and in the Battle of Hopton
Heath on 19th March, 1643. In revenge, Royalists
sacked Hopton Hall in 1644.
In July, 1645, Sir John was in command of 1,500
local horse and might have intercepted the King's
troops in their flight from Naseby to Leicester. His
neglect to do so gave rise to grave suspicions and
charges of misconduct as a military commander
were brought against him and in 1650, he was
accused of taking part in plots against the
Commonwealth and committed to the Tower of
London. He was -subsequently found guilty of
treason and condemned to forfeit his personal
estate and the rents of his lands for life. However,
three years later, he obtained a full pardon and
was released. He died in 167 1, aged 79, and was
buried at Wirksworth where his tomb was attacked
and destroyed. Only the brass tablet with his na me
on it remains to his memory.
Sir John's younger brother, Thomas, also served
the Parliamentary Army with distinction as a
Lieutenant Colonel. He was a Bencher on the
Inner Temple, a barrister and a Member of
Parliament for Derby. Sir John's second wife was
Lady Mary Stanhope, the widow of his rival, Sir
John Stanhope of Elvaston, Derbyshire, and their
son became the second Sir John Gell, a justice of
the Peace, M.P. for Derbyshire from 1671-1689
and High Sheriff of Derby in 1673, in the reign of
Charles 11. He married Katherine Packer of
Donnington Castle in 1640 and the couple had a
son, Philip, who became the third baronet on his
father's death in 1689.
Sir Philip succeeded to Hopton in 1689, the same
year that he became M.P. for Derbyshire. He built
the four almshouses in Hopton and travelled to
Turkey, bringing back with him a number of Arab
horses with which he started a stud at Hopton. He
was also High Sheriff of Derby and married
Elizabeth Fagg, daughter of Sir John Fagg of
Wiston, Sussex, but there was no issue.
On Sir Philip's death in 1719, the estate passed to
his sister, Miss Temperance Gell, a much loved
lady who founded a school in the village and built a
house for the school mistress. She died in 1730 and
as she had no direct heir, Hopton went to her
brother's son, John Eyre, who assumed the name
of Gell. He had been apperinted High Sheriff of
Derby in 1691 and had married Isabella Jessop,
daughter of judge William Jessop in 1721. They
had six children and on his death, in. 1738, he was
succeeded by his eldest son, Philip Eyre Gell.

Philip Gell married a poetess, Dorothy Milne in
1774. The couple had a son, born in 1776, and he
died in 1795. Philip Gell also had a brother, John
Gell, who became famous as an Admiral of the
Blue and was known as 'Fighting Gell'. He was a
Lieutenant in the Navy in 1760 and a Commander
two years later. In 1766, he was posted to HMS
Launceston of 44 guns going out to North America
as the flag ship of Vice Admiral Durell who died
within a few months of taking command of the
station. Gell, however, remained with the ship and
in 1776 was appointed to the frigate 'Thetis' also
on the North America station.
In 1780, he was appointed to the 'Monarca' a- fine
70-gun ship captured from the Spaniards by Sir
George Rodney. He was sent to the West Indies
under the. orders of Sir Samuel Hood, but the ship
was dismasted in a violent storm and compelled to
return to England. After a refit, he took the
Monarca to the East Indies where, as- one of a
squadron, he took part in five engagements with
the French, before returning to England in 1784.
During the Spanish armament in 1790, Gell
commanded the 'Excellent' and in 1793, he was
advanced to the rank of Rear Admiral. He was
then ordered out to the Mediterranean with his
flag in the 'St. George' in command of a squadron
of four ships of the line and a frigate. On the way,
off the coast of Portugal, they fought and captured
a French privateer convoying a Spanish treasure
ship, the 'Santiago' which she had taken a few days
before. The Spanish ship was of immense value
and her capture was said to have been one of the
principal causes of the war between Spain and
England.
Gell's squadron subsequently took part in the
occupation of Toulon and was then sent to Genoa
where he captured a French frigate, the 'Modeste'
after what was described as slight opposition when
a volley of musket fire killed one and wounded
eight Frenchmen. French writers represented this
as a massacre and this was used to excuse their
butchery in cold blood of the crew of the English
merchant brig 'Peggy' nearly a year later. Gell
became Vice-Admiral in 1794 and Admiral in
---Page 008-----------------------------------------------
1799. He died in 1806 and there is a portrait of
him by Sir Joshua Reynolds at Greenwich Naval
Museum.
When Philip Gell died in 1795, he was succeeded
by his son, also called Philip, who re-modelled
Hopton Hall, joining the two Elizabethan wings
together with a flagade of an arch and adding the
large dining room. He also built a writing room for
his wife, Georgina, at the far end of the house. In
1822, he was appointed High Sheriff and Deputy
Lieutenant of Derbyshire. He was also a JP and MP
and raised and commanded a troop of the
Derbyshire Yeomanry.
Philip Gell decided the main road past the house
was too near to his property so he realigned it and
built the high ribbon wall with six curves (see
photograph below) to the north of the kitchen
garden. He also instructed the builders to con
struct a summer house with a view over the garden
and to go on building until he told them to stop.
He then drove off to Westminster in his coach and
due to a delay, on his return, the summer house
had reached two storeys! (also pictured below). He
was also responsible for building a road called the
Via Gellia, primarily to cart lead from his mines at
Hopton to be washed at the water wheel at
Cromford. While the road was being built, a
funerary urn was unearthed by a workman which
contained human remains. It was inscribed with
the name Philipus Gellius, Centurian 111 Cohort.
Philip Gell died in 1842.
This Philip Gell had a famous brother, Sir William
Gell, who was classical archaeologist and traveller
who was born in 1777. He was educated at Jesus
College Cambridge, became a Fellow of Emmanuel
College Cambridge, studied at the Royal Academy
and was a great friend of Sir Thomas Moore, Sir
Walter Scott and Lord Byron. He wrote many
books, most of them illustrated with his own
sketches. In 1801, at the age of 24, he was sent on
his first diplomatic mission to Greece where he
fixed the site of Troy at Bournabiski.
---Page 009-----------------------------------------------
Lord Byron mentions him in his work 'English
Bards' thus:
Of Dardan tours let dilettanti tell
I leave topography to classic Gell.
He was knighted on his return from a second
mission to Greece at the age of 26. In 1814, when
Princess (later Queen) Caroline, wife of George
IV, left England for Italy, Sir William accompa
nied her as one of her Chamberlains. He gave
evidence on 6th October, 1820, at her trial before
the House of Lords and stated that he had left her
service merely on account of a fit of the gout and
had seen no impropriety between her and her
courtier Bergami. However, in letters of 1815 and
1816, written under such pseudonyms as 'Blue
Beard', 'Adonis' and 'Gellius', he related bits of
scandal about the Queen. From 1820 until his
death, he resided in Rome, where he painted. He
had another house in Naples, where he received a
constant stream of distinguished visitors including
his special friends Sir William Drummond, the
Hon. Keppel Craven, Lady Blessington and Sir
Walter Scott.
Although crippled by gout, Sir William took Scott
to Pompeii and showed him around the excava
tions. After Scott's death, Sir William drew up an
account of their conversations in Naples, part of
which is printed in Lockhart's 'Life of Scott'. It was
then that he published some of his best known
archaeological work including Tompeiana' and
'The Topography of Troy'.
He was a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and
of the Royal Society, a Member of the Royal
Academy of Berlin and of the Institute of France.
He died a bachelor in 1836 and is buried in Naples.
His original drawings, nearly 800 in number, made
by him during his travels, he left to his friend, the
Hon. Keppel Craven, who bequeathed them to the
British Museum.
When Philip Gell died in 1842, he left his youngest
daughter and only surviving child, Isabella, a life
interest in Hopton with the remainder, after 21
years, to his old friend Henry Chandos-Pole,
providing he assumed the name of Gell. Isabella
had married William Pole Thornhill in 1828, but
when her father died, she resumed the name of
Gell and she and her husband went to live at
Hopton. William Pole Gell became a J.P. and was
M.P. for Derby from 1856-1868. However, she
renounced the interest in Hopton and its contents
were sold. The house was then let for seven years
until 1849 and it stood empty for the next 14 years
until 1863, when Chandos-Pole-Gell inherited it.
The (Eyre) Gell line became extinct on Isabella's
death in 1878.
Henry Chandos-Pole-Gell married twice and lived
at Hopton for 39 years. By his second wife, Teresa
Charlotte, the daughter of Sir E. Manningham
Buller, Baronet, he left an only, son who became
Brigadier Harry Anthony Chandos-Pole-Gell
C.B.E. of the Coldstream Guards. He served with
distinction in the South African War and the First
World War, inheriting Hopton on the death of his
father in 1902.
In 1904, Hopton, left empty for the intervening
two years, was let to Philip Lyttleton Gell (1852
1926) the son of the Rev. John Philip Gell and
Eleanor, only daughter, of Admiral Sir John
Franklin, the Arctic explorer. He lived there until
1918 when Harry Chandos-Pole-Gell returned
from the war and took up residence with his wife.
However, mounting debts forced Chandos-Pole
Gell to sell the property to a local colour merchant,
Mr George Kay, who promptly sold the hall,
together with about 800 acres, back to Philip
Lyttleton Gell. The hall then remained in this line
of the Gell family to the present day.
Philip Lyttleton Gell (1852-1926) took a first class
degree at Balliol College, Oxford. At first, he
entered the publishing house of John Cassell and
Son, leaving it to take up the post of secretary to
the Oxford University Press, in which he remained
until 1896. After leaving unexpectedly, he did not
find a permanent post until offered a place on the
Board of the British South Africa Company in
1898, just as it began the serious development of
the country, named after the founder of the
company, Rhodesia. He was subsequently elected
President of the company in succession to Sir Starr
Jameson after the First World War and did not
retire until 1923, when Southern Rhodesia was
granted responsible government.
Philip Lyttleton Gell lived at Hopton Hall with his
wife Edith Brodrick, daughter of Viscount Midle
ton whom he married in 1889. Under his will and
on Edith's death in 1944, Hopton passed to Philip
Victor Willingham Gell, the only son of Henry
Willingham Gell, Philip Lyttleton Gell's brother.
He was educated at Eton College and served with
the Royal Horse Artillery in the First World War,
afterwards joining Chance Brothers Glass Works
as a director. He subsequently left to start his own
heat resisting glassworks, first in Birmingham and
then in Bilston, Staffordshire. He was chairman
and managing director of British Heat Resisting
Glass Co., from 1933-1966, a J.P., Deputy Lieute
nant of Derbyshire, High Sheriff of Derbyshire in
1953, and the first chairman of the Riding for the
Disabled Association for whom Sotheby's are
staging a special charity advisory day prior to the
sale. He lived at Hopton until his death in 1970,
whereupon his widow inherited it for life. She died
in 1986.

The family's link with the Arctic explorer Admiral
Sir John Franklin is a fascinating one. The main
family line includes a Philip Gell (1748-1822) who
married Elizabeth Dod and had seven sons. One of
them was Frederick, born in 1861, who became the
Bishop of Madras, and another was Arthur Daniel,
born in 1822, who was Private Secretary to
Governor Gawler of South Australia. He was lost at
sea in 1848 on his way to join Sir G. Grey as Private
Secretary in New Zealand. There is a monument to
him in Adelaide.
The couple's eldest son, however, was the Rev.
John Philip Gell M.A. born in 1816 and educated
at Rugby and Trinity College, Cambridge. He
subsequently sailed for Van Diemen's Land, now
Tasmania, to work under the Governor, Admiral
Sir John Franklin, to further education in the
Colony. He founded the Hutchins School in
Hobart, the Launceston Church Grammar School
and was the first Warden of . Christ College,
Hobart. He was also Sir John's Chaplain and when
Sir John made his historic journey across Tasma
nia to Macquarie Harbour in 1842, Sir John
named Mount Gell after him. Back in England, in
1849, Gell married Sir John's only child and
heiress Eleanor Isabella. They lived at Buxted in
Sussex, where Gell was Rector. The couple had
four daughters and three sons, one of whom was
John Franklin Gell M.A. who is buried in the
Cathedral precincts at Madras. Another was Philip
Lyttleton Gell who is mentioned above.
Eleanor Isabella's grandfather was William Porden
(1755-1822) an architect who helped Nash design
and build the--- Brighton Pavilion. He also designed
and built Eaton Hall near Chester, for Lord
Grosvenor. Sotheby's sale includes portraits of
Porden and of his daughter, Eleanor Anne, who
was Sir John Franklin's first wife. Important
archives relating to Sir John's voyages of discovery,
his personal papers and artefacts, previously kept
at Hopton Hall, are to be placed on permanent
loan to the National Maritime Museum at Green
wich. The Trustees have placed the Gell archives
on permanent loan to Derbyshire County Records
Office.
