Derbyshire / Re: Ox Close, in the Parish of Bakewell. Help please!

Hi Gardener,
Researching my wife's (and therefore children's) family history on the Marsden side. If we start just in Baslow (i.e. not going back to the Lancashire roots), my wife and children are descendant from Hugh Marsden and Alicia (aka Alice) Brough, who were married at St. Anne's Church ~ Nov. 1596.
Anyway, I'm particularly interested in learning about the "connections" between the various Marsdens and the Cavendish family - e.g. Oxclose being so close to/on the Chatsworth park grounds, another farm called "Parkgate or Park Gate" which was owned by Edmund Marsden (and perhaps his father Hugh?) which was somewhere near the Hunting Tower, and of most interest, the "family history" which notes that Hugh Marsden first came to Baslow "as part of the household of Sir William Cavendish" in the late 1500's.
Might you have direct access to the Marsden family genealogical memoirs that contains this specific reference, and might you have any further details regarding either Oxclose of Parkgate? We're in the Bakewell area and would be happy to do any "field research" to share with you and others if you're able to help point me in the right direction on some of these topics.
Thanks,
- Chris
