The manor of CULY in Wootton, which was held of the Nevills, appears for the first time in 1474, when John Harvey died seised of it. Until the beginning of the 17th century it remained in the Harvey family, whose pedigree will be traced under Thurleigh, where they resided. The manor was alienated in 1617 by Oliver Harvey to Sir Oliver Butler, kt., and descended in that family with the manor of Lorings in Sharnbrook (q.v.). It is last mentioned in 1813, when it was in the possession of Admiral Cornish, but it does not appear to have descended with the rest of his property to his wife's nephew Admiral Robert Gambier, for the hamlet of Keeley, which probably comprised this estate, was in the possession of Miss Polhill in the early 19th century, and has since been sold to Mr. Arthur Black, M.P.
