The Pavely family owned Brook house/hall in Westbury, Wiltshire, England and were comissioners for the Crown and Sheriffs, and in the local church they had a chantry chapel, and local churches had their arms upon them. Walter Pavely binds himself to supply Roger Marmion every Christmas as long as he (Marmion) lives with a furred robe after the pattern of that worn by the other Esquires in attendance upon him. In consideration of which dignity Marmion was to give up any claim he might have to a certain one hundred acres of land, and pay one mark of silver every year. The last male heir of the Pavely family died in 1361, with two daughters, Alice and Joan.
Land at Headinghill, Westbury belonged to Walter Pavely and his son Walter Pavely in 1323. A rent of £6 from the manor of Westbury and the hamlets of Headinghill, Stoke, Melborne, and Leigh, i.e. Joan and Eleanor's share of Sir John Pavely's lands, was to be paid to Sir John's daughter, Joan, wife of Ralph Cheyney. Headinghill is mentioned in connexion with this rent in 1420.

In 1345-7 Walter released his claim to the manor of Cosgrove to Sir Adam de St. Philbert and Richard le Forester. By 1351, however, the manor was in Walter's hands, when he made a settlement on feoffees and secured a release from Richard
In 1358 Prince Edward granted the wardship of William, son and
heir of William de Furtho, to Sir Walter de Paveley, who noted that the father
had held a quarter of a knight's fee in Cosgrove, and that the wardship and
marriage of the heir belonged to the prince by virtue of older enfeoffment

CHAPTER CCCLVI
How the Englishmen that were sent into Bretayne were tormented on the sea, and how the Gauntois desired to have the earl of Flanders their lord to come dwell in their town of Gaunt.
THE same season it was ordained in England by the king and his council that two hundred men of arms and four hundred archers should go into Bretayne, and the chief captain of that journey should be sir John Arundel, and with him should go sir Hugh Calverley, sir Thomas Banaster, sir Thomas Trivet, sir Walter Paveley, sir John Bourchier, the lord Ferrers and the lord Basset. All these knights drew to Hampton ; and when they had wind, they entered into their ships and departed.
