Biography

Marion's maiden name is unknown. although she was possibly the daughter of Sir John Thornborough. They had six sons and two daughters. [1]

Their monumental brass survives in Campden Church, in a position of great prominence, on the floor of the chancel in front of the communion rails. The brasses represent Greville and his wife, under a double canopy crocketed and cusped, both with hands folded in prayer, the wife being on her husband's left hand. The engraving on their memorial is in Latin, but roughly translates as:

Here lies William, Grevil of Campden, formerly a citizen of London and the flower of the wool merchants of all England, who died the first day of October Anno Domini 1401. Here lies Marion wife of the aforesaid William who died on the tenth day of Septemenr Anno Domini 1386. On whose souls may God have pity. Amen. [1]
