In 1440 Sir Robert Whittingham (or Whytingham) and his wife Agnes received a grant of free warren from King Henry VI at Pendley manor; he enclosed 200 acres and tore down the buildings on the land, returning the estate to pasture. He built a manor house at the western end of the now-demolished town as a double cloistered courtyard as well as building a Chapel. On the accession of Edward IV (1442 –1483) he granted Pendley manor to George Neville, Bishop of Exeter in 1461 which then passed on to the Verney family through marriage. The Verney family lived at the medieval manor for the next 150 years, until it was passed on to the Anderson family. Sir Richard Anderson, 2nd Baronet (c. 1635–1699) owned the Penley estate when the print was made.

The interior of Peterborough Abbey's tithe barn, built in the 13th century for the original abbey. In 1898 Rev. W.D. Sweeting wrote: "Until a very few years ago there was a mediaeval building at Peterborough of the greatest interest. This was the old Tithe Barn of the Abbey, situated in the Manor of Boroughbury, on the Lincoln Road. It was much the finest in the kingdom. Unhappily the ''enterprising builder'' has obtained possession of it, and it has been pulled down, the materials, all Barnack stone, having been employed in building houses. It was of good thirteenth century work, and in perfect condition. On the east side were two large porches, by which a waggon fully laden could enter the barn. The roof was supported by very massive timbers rising from the ground, the whole arrangement resembling a wooden church with aisles".
