GRIFFO, (Warwickshire) near Ardbury, bel. anciently to the Sudleys, then to the Butlers. In the R. of Edw. IV. it was Sir John Norbury's manor; and passed by marriage of his grand-daughter to Sir Edm. Bray, in the R. of Q. Mary, as it did afterwards by the same means to Tho. Lifield, and was sold to John Gifford of Chillington in Staffordshire; whose grandson, about the beginning of the last century, conveyed the manor to Sir John Newdigate, and the demesnes to Ld. Keeper Coventry; by whose posterity they were lately, if they are not still, enjoyed.
