Sir Thomas Grosvenor, 3rd Baronet

Sir Thomas Grosvenor, 3rd Baronet (20 November 1655 – 2 July 1700) was an English Member of Parliament and an ancestor of the modern day Dukes of Westminster. He was the first member of the family to build a substantial house on the present site of Eaton Hall in Cheshire.
==Early life and education==
Grosvenor succeeded to the baronetcy on the death of his grandfather Sir Richard Grosvenor, 2nd Baronet on 31 January 1665. His father had been killed in a duel in 1661 and at the time of the succession he was aged eight.〔 He had been born at Eaton Hall, Cheshire, and his mother was Christian, daughter of Thomas Myddleton of Chirk Castle, Denbighshire. He was educated by a private tutor, who also accompanied him when he undertook the Grand Tour, in his case, a three-year educational tour of France, Italy and the Levant, starting in 1670.〔Handley, Stuart (2004) (online edition 2008) '(Grosvenor, Sir Thomas, third baronet (1655-1700) )', ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, Retrieved on 6 April 2010. 〕 On his return he set about building a new house at Eaton. At that time the family house was a medieval moated house. The new house was the first substantial one to be built and it was constructed to the north of the older house. Grosvenor appointed the architect William Samwell to design it and building started in 1675. By 1683 over £1,000 (£}} as of ) had been spent on the hall. The money for this venture came partly from the estates, and also from coal and lead mines, and from stone quarries in north Wales, that were owned by the family.〔
