Sir Thomas Grenville (died 1513) was Sheriff of Cornwall in 1481 and 1486.[1] He was Lord of the manors of Bideford in Devon and of Stowe in the parish of Kilkhampton in Cornwall.
He was the son and heir of Sir Thomas Grenville by his second wife Elizabeth Gorges, daughter of Theobald Gorges and sister of Sir Theobald Gorges. [2] Although little if anything at all survives in historical records concerning his biography, he was the descendant of a notable ancestor who took part in the Norman Conquest of Glamorgan, namely Sir Richard Grenville one of the Twelve Knights of Glamorgan who won for himself the Welsh Lordship of Neath and in 1129 founded there Neath Abbey. Sir Thomas was himself ancestor to famous descendants, most notably his great-grandson Sir Richard Grenville (1542–1591), the valiant captain of "The Revenge" and of Sir Bevil Grenville (1596-1643), MP and famous Civil War commander, father of John Grenville, 1st Earl of Bath (1628-1701). He was also the ancestor of the Grenville Marquesses of Buckingham, title created in 1784, and the Grenville Dukes of Buckingham and Chandos, title created in 1822.
