Addition: see Duck End, the ancient Moat , and all the foot paths that Sam could have transversed, then on to Yelling. Any guess to which was Sams plot for the day.

The L&M Companion has nothing about Gravely -- and perhaps more significantly, no essay per se on Pepys' inheritance and the following years of law suits. But Pauline found and reposted the info. under Robert Pepys -- thank you, Pauline.

For the history of Gravely, no better info can be found than the BHO -- British History On Line -- site:
There is one helpful paragraph under Gravely, Cams.:
"In the 16th and early 17th century the Wiseman family held c. 200 a[cres], divided and sold c. 1650. (fn. 40)
"Half passed through Robert Pepys (d. 1661), an uncle of the diarist, to the Brookes. (fn. 41)
"Leonard Nightingale of Yelling (Hunts.), who bought the other half in 1650, devised it in 1660 to his kinsman Geoffrey Nightingale of Kneesworth. (fn. 42)
"The estate, 157 a. after 1660, descended in that family (fn. 43) until Sir Charles E. Nightingale, Bt., in 1807 sold the 175 a. allotted at inclosure to the Londoner Richard Haighton (d. 1813)."
