In 1838, the abeyance of the Baron of Brayne was terminated in favour of Sarah Cave, wife of Henry Otway of Castle Otway. The 5th Baron, Sir Thomas Cave (died 1778) was an antiquarian of some note, and a friend of John Bridges (1666-1724) whose history about Northamptonshire was unfinished at the time of his death. Sir Cave was appointed Chairman of a committee formed in 1755 to complete the work, raise subscriptions, and see it through to press. Sir Thomas collected notes and transcripts for a history of Leicestershire, including the work of Francis Beck (1692 - 1743), but he did not live to write the intended work.
