"Here was buried Edward Greville formerly lord of Milcot, who yielded to his destiny on the eve of Christmas Day, in the 59th year of human safety above one thousand five hundred, Elizabeth then being the most serene ruler over the English, already in her second year"
He was buried in "St Anne's chappell alongside his father, his effigy brass which has miraculously escaped where his shields and inscription are lost, now lies on the chancel floor
Sir Edward Greville 1559 was the only son of Sir John Greville 1546 www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/t224Z8 & 2nd wife Elizabeth daughter of John Spencer of Hodnet

1. Ludovic 1547 -1589 +++ m Thomasine d1611 daughter of Sir William Petre flic.kr/p/b4Nb6F of Ingatestone by Anne daughter of Sir William Browne, Lord Mayor of London & 2nd wife Alice Keble
+++ Ludovic Grevill in 1567 obtained a royal licence to build and embattle a new house at Milcote and to call it Mountgrevell which he began but never completed, and it was possibly to obtain funds for this purpose that he caused 2 of his servants to murder a wealthy tenant Richard Webb of Drayton, and forged his will leaving his lands to himself. One of the murderers Thomas Brocke, babbling in his cups, was removed, but Grevill was arrested for this second murder in 1589 and Webb's widow who had already claimed the lands in Drayton, now charged Ludovic with the murder of her husband When he was brought to trial he refused to plead and was therefore 'pressed' to death on 14 November 1589, (his refusing to plead saved his estates from forfeiture)
Milcote passed to his son Edward on whom it had been settled on his marriage with Joan daughter of Lord Chancellor Sir Thomas Bromley & Elizabeth Fortescue. - Edward had become heir after accidentally fatally shooting his elder brother, unscrupulous like his father, he nonetheless apparently possessed a great deal of charm, after his marriage in 1583, he spent his wife’s fortune, leaving her with little more than the clothes on her back. Edward & Joan's only son died without heirs in his father's lifetime leaving his father with his 5 sisters and many debts.. This branch of the Grevilles became extinct and in 1622 the 3rd daughter Mary & husband Sir Arthur Ingram conveyed Milcote to Lionel, Lord Cranfield, afterwards Earl of Middlesex.
