John Saville acquired Thrybergh around 1705 from Leonard Reresby, who was placed in the embarrassing position of selling Reresby acquisitions to pay off gambling debts incurred by his brother William. Facts of this exchange are still under research. The estate was then inherited by Elizabeth Saville the heiress of John Saville. Elizabeth married a John Finch, and they had a son named Saville Finch.

Ashford: The Marble Forks in this village, where the black and grey marbles found in the vicinity are sawn and polished, were the first of the kind ever established in Great Britain. They were originally constructed about sixty years ago, by the late Mr. Henry Watson, of Bakewell: but though a patent was obtained to secure the profits of the invention, the advantages were not commensurate with the expectations that had been formed. The present proprietor is Mr. John Platt, architect of Rotherham, ir. Yorkshire, who rents the quarries at Ashford, where the black marble is obtained.
