There seems to be no doubt that it was built on a greenfield site for the Elde family – and almost certainly for Richard Eld (1546–1621). In 1574 Richard Elde of Seighford was granted a coat of arms and crest by the Ulster King of Arms; Eld had been born in Derbyshire and had managed to be appointed Treasurer and Steward to the notorious Walter Devereux, 1st Earl of Essex and Earl Marshal of England (1541–76).
