Thurrock Local History Society's publications, particularly earlier Panoramas and Christopher Harrold's Exploring Thurrock, give much local information. Two volumes of The Oxford History of England, The Fourteenth Century by M. McKisack and The Fifteenth Century by E. E Jacob, put some two hundred years of Grey local lordship into a national perspective. The Jews of Angevin England by Jacobs (London 1893) shows that Joseph, who sold the manor to Henry de Grey, was a member of an important Anglo-Jewish family.
