FUNERAL OF THE LITE EARL OF STAM-
FORD AND WARRINGTON.

The remains of the late Earl of Stamford and
Warrington. Baron Grey of Groby and Delamere,
were laid to rest on Tuesday afternoon, in the
churchyard of St. Mary's, Enville. There has been
a long connection of tne family with this quiet out-
of-the-way Staffordshire manur. Mention of the
place 18 .found as far back as the days of William
he Conqueror, who gave a handful of the manors
of the district to William Fitzaesculph, one of his
Norman followers. Gilbert, who surnamed himself
of Enfield or Evenfield, held the place of Fitz
ansculph. The original name of Evenfield is said
to have been given at the time there was a reclama-
tion of land from the ancient forest which over-
spread the waste around. Later on one Andrew
de Enfield held the manor of William de Birming-
ham, who hailed from Dudley Castle. The first
connertion of the Grey family with Enville, to use ,
ts modern name, se, ms to have been in the Sixth
Henry's time. Humphrey Lowe, who was shei iff
of the county of Steffoid in the 19th year of ttat
narch's rule, and who was resident at Watitting-
t,n near Enville, and was retuan, d among he
"prime gentry" of - taff eelehire, had a daughter
ELemor She became the wife of Robert Grey,
third son of Reginald Lord Grey of Ruthlin, and
these nuptials first brought the Greys to Enville
Something wes s Lid in our columns mat week of the
notable part, which members of the family have
played in the history of the land, and it need only
here be said that Enville Hall, where on Tuesday
the seventh Earl of Stamford was borne to his
grave, was built by Tomas Grey, who died in the
20th year of Elizabeth's reign. Dr. Wilkes mere
than a century ago called it "a very proper brick
house;" but in the hands of the late noble owner
there have been considerable additions made to it.
The praises of the park and gardens around Enville
Hall are in the month of everyone who lives within
a reasonable drive of Enville. It is not so generally
known, however, thae much of the attraction im-
parted to the natural features of Euville bears the
stamp of the poet Shenstone. He not only trans-
posed his own estate, the Leasowes, into a place of
beauty for himself, but his friendship with thecon-
temporary lord of Elaine led to his also aididg in
the embellishment of Enville. The Shenstone
Cascade and Shenstone Chapel still bear witness to
his connection with the domain; and it was after
returning from a visit to Lord Stamford that poor
Shenstune caught the fever which ended his days—
nearly six sore years age. The late Earl of Stam-
ford has greatly improved and extended the gardens
at Emilie, and made them at summertide a spec-
tacle ce which it would have gladdened Shenstone's
eyes to s-se. greatly they have contributed
te.the pleasures of the toilers in the district stretch-
ing round Enville it would be iteration to sty

has bean far surpassed by lord Stamford, who IL:s
done so week after weQk and year after year for at
least nearly half the spa(!e of his life it was but
natural that from the surrounding district there
should come pouring into Enville throngs of people
on Tuesday t) see the last rites paid to one whose
name has long been more or less a household word
among them. From Lancashire, Lei .estershire,
and Cheshire, where Lord Stamford had extensive
estates, a considerable number of representatives
travelled to Enville. From Ashton-under-Lyne
came the Mayor ef the borough, Mr. Joshua Taylw,
and the Mayor of the Manor of Ashton, Mr. John
Mayall. The ex-Mayor of Ashton, Mr Andrew,
was also at Enville, and Mr. Balshaw. the:Mayor of
Altrineham; Messrs. Jas, Milward, W. Burton,
J9laa Brovna,JQU lll,lt, Dates, W, Couway, N.

Allen, W. Slaeldeton, R. Heap, and others were
p °sent from the Ashton and Stalybridge estates.
The Bragigate furl Dunham Massey estates were
also represented while from the district around
Fnvilh: there was a full complment of Mends.

the hall, its oaken lid and aides covered wi.h
beautiful floral tribute.. The mountings were of

cushion. The inscription on the name-plate was:.
'The Right Honourable George Harry Grey, Earl)
of Stamford and Warrington. Born 7th January,'
1827. Died Jan. 2nd 1883.' There was a beautiful
floral cross from Lady Stamford. composed of
Eucharis lilies and,white lilacs, relieved by maiden-

Niiar the church the tradesmen from Stonrbridge
and other gentlemen lined the path for the
mourners to pass through, and as many as the space
would accommodate filed into the church, which
was in part draped with black. The service was
conducted by the Rev. B. Sayers and the Rev. A.
Phillimore ; and the hymn "Lead, kindly light';
was sung by the choir. The vault of the Greys runs
for a considerable distance under the church, but
this was not disttirbed, a new vault having been
prepared in the churchyard. Here the remains of
the late lord were laid, and the mournful service
having been brought to a conclusion, the wreathe
and crosses brought by friends were placed on the
coffin. Many stayed to take a last look at the coffin
an I its freightage of kindly souvenirs, and the large
assemblage alter a time gradually melted away.

Lady Stamford's health is farfrom good at the pre
sent time. The expressions of sympathy with her
hither bereavement have been numerous, and
several kind me-sages have reached her from the
Prince of Wales, who, but for what has occurred,
would have visited Enviile in the present year.

The World hays :—En%ill.: Hall and Dunhaz
Mas,,ey are full of ";traasures," Ever; bed roma
at Enville has a perfect toilet set of Queen Anne
silver ; whilst at Dunham Masxey the fenders and
ftreirolis in ail the reception rooms are likewise of
:olid silver ot Qa en Anne's time. One of Lord
• timford's ancestors stipulated in his will that
.*
large sum of money should be annualy spent in
silver ornaments; and it was found necessary to
obtain an Act of Parliament to put a stop to such
unnecessary w. Ste of money. Except Bradgate
Park, whicu go..ts to his heir, with £15,000. a year.
Lora Stamfora has left everything to his discon•
solate widow. At her death theiproperty goes to
her niece, Miss Payne, daughter of Lady StamforD
younger sister the widow of the Rev. Alfred Payco
so welt known in the cricket circles, and who w. 0
formerly rector of Enville. Lord Stamford had co
personal knowledge of Mr. W. Grey, his heir, wh)
has been for years past a classical professor con-
ceded with the West Indian College of Codring
He takes the title of Boon Grey of Groby,

The will of the late earl was not read after the
funeral, but we have reason to bslieve (says the
1
Times) that the large estates which he possessed
have been vested in trustees for the use and benefit
of his widow during her life, subject to certain
changes. Oae of these is a settlement of .28,000, a.
year for the successor to the title of Earl of Stam-
ford. By a subsequent disposition of the property.
tho Cheshire estates, including Dunham Massey .'
Park, are settled in entail on the title, which will
then possess an income of from £30,000 to £40,000
a year. The Leicestershire estate, including •
Bradgate Park and the Grey of Groby property,
will pass to Mrs. Arthur Dancimbe, the niece of
the deceased earl. The Staffordshire estate, in- •
cludiog Enville Hall, will pass to Miss Payne,
grandniece of the Countess of Stamford, and the
only daughter cf the late Rev. Arthur Payne. The
Cheshire estates, including Ashton Old Hall, are
settled for the liquidation of all charges, debts, or
other claims on toe several properties. The in-
come from the estates is believed to be very nearly
.2100,000. a year The successor to the title of
Earl of Stamford, Mr. Henry Grey, who is in his
sevcrity-th'rd year, is resident in South Africa.
The title of Earl of Warrington becomes extinct,
Mr. Henry Grey being a descendant of the fourth
Earl of Stamford, while it was in the person of the
filth earl that this title, now extinct, was revi‘ed•
In connection with this subject, those who believe
in omens will be struck by the curious coincidence
that three weeks ago, during Divine service in the
church at Duunam, the escutcheon fell from the
mnnument to the late Earl of Warrington, who,e
title is now extinct, and was shattered to pieces.
