Background

Grenfell was the son of the Cornishman Pascoe Grenfell and Charlotte (née Grenfell). He was a director of the Bank of England from 1830 to 1864. He was also Chairman of the Board of Directors of the London Brighton and South Coast Railway from 1846 to 1848.

Grenfell was Member of Parliament for Preston from 1847 to 1852, and from 1857 to 1865.[2]

Grenfell married Lady Georgiana Frances, daughter of William Molyneux, 2nd Earl of Sefton, in 1819. They had two sons, Charles Grenfell and Henry Grenfell, and two daughters, Maria Georgiana, who married Frederick Paget, and Louisa Henrietta, who married Theodore Walrond. The family lived at Taplow Court, Taplow, Buckinghamshire.

Lady Georgiana died in June 1826. Grenfell survived her by over 40 years and died at his home, Taplow Court, in March 1867, aged 76.
