Brookhill Hall, near Mansfield, Parish of Pinxton on the border between Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire was another property held by the Revells. It was known as Hill Brook House until 1567, when it received its present name. The house was inherited by the Coke Family of nearby Kirkby Old Hall in the 18th century.
Quaintly described in an old Derbyshire record as follows: "Situated at the foot of a gentle declivity with the pleasant valley front, backed with woods and surrounded by hills which are set in an agreeably diversified manner. In connection with these pleasant features of nature, two rivulets take their course through a valley one on each side of the house and unite at bottom of the lawn which affords an opportunity of making three agreeably picturesque pieces of water, one of which appears in the view of the mansion." In the reign of Edward II this Manor belonged to Sir William Wyn who left two daughters, one married Sir John Sulney, and one Sir Ralph Longford. first moiety descended to the Staffords and from them to the Revells. Once belonged to James I.The Revells sold the hall to to Sir Eardley Willmott.
