Tutbury Castle was begun shortly after the Norman Conquest by either  Hugh d'Avranches or Henry de Ferrers. Avranche held the manor first, but he exchanged it for the Earldom of Chester, and in 1071 Tutbury was granted to Ferrers by William the Conqueror. One of the Norman lords erected a motte and bailey castle on a high ridge over the River Dove.
