 According to John Stow, Ferrers wrote the part of Richard Grafton's "Chronicle" (1568–9) dealing with the reign of Queen Mary, an allegation which Grafton denied, but Stow insisted upon.Stow and Grafton were in dispute, as Grafton had plagiarised part of Stow's own chronicle history of England.Bindoff states that Ferrers "almost certainly wrote a number of masques and plays for performance at court and elsewhere" which are lost.
