"Thomas Throckmorton" is mentioned in British History Online as being associated with the Manor of Graveley as follows (http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/herts/vol3/pp85-90):
"The manor of GRAVELEY was held in the time of King Edward by Swen, one of Earl Harold's men, and was granted by William the Conqueror to Goisbert of Beauvais. ...Thomas Barrington...alienated the manor in 1565–6 to Thomas Bedell, who conveyed it a few months later to William Clarke. He was succeeded by his son William, whose daughter Elizabeth married George Throckmorton, who held the manor in right of his wife and died in 1696. His son John [Throckmorton] succeeded him, and sold the manor in 1704 to Edward Lawndy of Baldock."
