George Neville-Grenville

Neville was born a younger son of the Hon Richard Griffin MP (later 2nd Baron Braybrooke) and the Hon Mrs Griffin (née Catherine Grenville and later Lady Braybrooke, a daughter of prime minister George Grenville); his elder brother was (later) Richard Griffin, 3rd Baron Braybrooke. He was educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge. ==Career==

In 1813, he was nominated by his father, as owner of Audley End, as Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge. An Honorary Chaplain to the Queen, he was also register of the Order of the Garter. On being appointed Dean of Windsor in 1846, Neville-Grenville offered to resign the mastership of Magdalene, but was blocked by the Visitor, his brother Lord Braybrooke, who had earmarked the post for his fourth son Latimer Neville, then aged 19. The Master's health was in decline: by 1850, although still only sixty years of age, he was "a wreck". With some diplomacy needed to manage the Fellowship, the transition was achieved in 1853, and Latimer Neville became Master at the age of 26. ==Personal life==

In 1816 he married Lady Charlotte Legge, daughter of George Legge, 3rd Earl of Dartmouth and Lady Frances Finch (second daughter of Heneage Finch, 3rd Earl of Aylesford and Lady Charlotte Seymour, herself the daughter of Charles Seymour, 6th Duke of Somerset). ==References==
