Grendon : apparently the Graundyn of Leland's list. This spelling gives the name a French aspect; but there seems no reason to doubt Dugdale's assertion that it was assumed from Grendon in Warwickshire. "Roger de Grendon first took his sirname from thence in King Stephen's time. Which Roger of his Father was originally enfeoft thereof in Henry the First's Time, by Camville, who (it seems) had the first grant of it from the said Henry, or his son." This family was baronial, and lasted till the end of Edward III.'s reign. But it has no claim to be included here.
