In his History of Luton of 1855 Frederick Davis suggested that Haverings Manor was the ancient seat of the Crawley family in Luton. The Victoria County History for Bedfordshire, published in 1908, however, suggests that Plenties Manor was the most ancient family seat as it was devised in the will of John Crawley of 1519: "To my wife Joan, my house that I dwell in called Plentisse till Richard my son comes of age 23 years".
