Biography
He was a prominent wool-merchant and is the ancestor of the present Greville Earls of Warwick.
The first record of him being in Chipping Campden is that in 1367 he bought a house and land in the town from William Wylicote and his wife Isolde. The house cost William 10 marks. [1]
In 1380 he paid taxes on his property in Campden to the value of 13s. 4d and he employed servants Thomas, William, John, Robert and Agnes who also appeared in the register of those who paid taxes. [1] At about the same time William built a fine house in the Chipping Campden High Street which at the time must have been one of the fairest homes in the town. It was owned by the Grevel family until 1541 and is known to this day as Grevel House. [1]
In 1395 he and his son John, both described as wool merchants, received pardons for all unjust and excessive weighings and purchases of wool, contrary to the statute. [1]As a wealthy man, in 1397, he was able to loan King Richard II the exorbitant sum of 300 marks on the King's promise to repay it the following Easter. [1]
He married twice:
1st to Marion, possible daughter of Sir John Thornborough, by whom he had six sons and two daughters.
2nd to Joan Thornbury, sister and heiress of Sir Philip Thornbury
He signed his will on 2 April 1401 and desired to be buried in the "Church of the Blessed Mary of Campden" and bequeathed 100 marks to "the new work to be carried on there". His very large ledger stone (8'9" x 4'4" with monumental brasses survives in Campden Church, in a position of great prominence, on the floor of the chancel in front of the communion rails. The brasses represent Greville and his wife, under a double canopy crocketed and cusped, both with hands folded in prayer, the wife being on her husband's left hand. The engraving on their memorial is in Latin, but roughly translates as:
Here lies William, Grevil of Campden, formerly a citizen of London and the flower of the wool merchants of all England, who died the first day of October Anno Domini 1401. Here lies Marion wife of the aforesaid William who died on the tenth day of Septemenr Anno Domini 1386. On whose souls may God have pity. Amen. [1]
The Probate of his Will is dated at Campden, April 2 1401. Some of his property remained in the possession of his widow and second wife, Joan, sister of Sir Philip Thornbury, while the rest was distributed among his sons. John and Ludovic were his principal heirs. His other children were Richard, William, and two other sons whose names are not known, and a daughter, Alice who married Edmund Ludlow (d.1409), who owned 'Ludlowes' manor in Campden. Ludovic made his home at Drayton in Oxfordshire whilst John's share included Lasborough and Sezincote, settled on him at the time of their purchase. [2] By the time of his death he held 14 messuages and 2 virgates in the town, as well as purchasing the manors of Lasborough (1395), Meon, Charingworth, Welford, Weston-on-Avon and Milcote, where he lived in the last years of his life.
Research Notes
There is reference that makes this William a son of Richard Greville, not William Greville. He is recorded on the roll of the Guild of the Holy Trinity at Coventry as "Wm Grivil of Campdene and Mariona his wife and Richard Grivel his father". [1]
Will Transcription
In the name of God Amen In the year of our Lord one thousand four hundred and one the second day of April I William Grevell of sane and good memory make my will in this manner.
Firstly I leave my soul to all powerful God and my body to be buried in the church of Blessed Marie of Campeden.
Item I leave the church of Campeden one hundred marks for making the new work at the disposition of my executors.
Item I leave £200 to remunerate 4 chaplains daily celebrating in the Church of Campeden for ten years following.
Item I order and appoint Joan my wife, John Grevell and Richard Boschell my true executors and Sir(Mgr) Roger Hatton abbot of Evesham and Sir (Mgr) William Bradley overseers of my executors, This was made at Campeden the day and year of the Lord above stated In testimony of which I have put my seal.
Proved 8 October at Lambeth before the Archbishop; administration granted to John Grevell, and on 9 Oct a commission was issued to William Small, Rector of Lynton, Worcs. Dioc. To commit the Administration to Joan the Widow, and Richard Boschell, Executors. [3]

Notes
General:
From Douglas Richardson:Research:
Complete Peerage, 6 (1926): 343 (sub Hastang) ... had a difficult time distinguishing John Hastang, of Chebsey, Staffs., (husband of Maud Trussell), who occurs from 1359 - c. '67, from his father of the same name, Sir John Hastang, of Leamington Hastings, Warwick, (husband of Blanche), who occurs from 1346 to say '60. Having two successive generations of the same name with no clear delineation between the generations has long been the bane of medieval research.
Complete Peerage suggests the elder Sir John Hastang & his wife Blanche, were "poss. d. bef. 02 Feb. 1358/9," but date appears to be a guess, and not based on primary evidence. ... research indicates the elder Sir John Hastang (knight) and wife Blanche, were involved in July 1352 litigation involving Henry de Braylesford and Joan his wife regarding 16 acres of meadow in Chebsey, Staffs., (see Colls. Hist. Staffs. 12 (1891): 115).
In Michaelmas term, 1354 John Hastang, Knt. was likewise sued by the same parties regarding eight acres of meadow in Slyndon, Staffs., (see Ibid., 129).
In 1354 Sir John Hastang, of Leamington Hastings, Warwick., owed £200 to John le Blount, of Sodington, Worcs., and Adam le Botoner of Coventry, Warwick, (see PRO Document, C 241/138/113).
In 1355 Sir John Hastang, of Warwickshire, owed £146 13s. 4d. to Richard de Piriton, clerk [see PRO Document, C 241/135/98). In 1360 he exchanged the manors of Budbrooke and Grave Curly (in Budbrooke), Warwick., with Thomas de Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, for those of Grafton and Upton Waryn, Worcs., (see VCH Warwick 3 (1945): 65-68).
Sometime bef. 1362 he granted manor of Grandborough, Warwick. for life to William Trussell, Knt. (see VCH Warwick, 6 (1951): 94-99). In 1362 there is mention of robbers breaking into the house of Sir John Hastang within the Park of Chebsey, Staffs., (see Close Rolls). It is likely that the elder John is intended in this record, as the elder John is known to have been a knight, whereas no indication the younger John took up knighthood. ... the elder John predeceased his son, the younger John, stated in various inquisitions to have died in 1365, 1366, or 1367. In 1365-66 Ralph Earl of Stafford conveyed all his right in the manor of Chebsey, Staffs., to John Hastang.
John Hastang the younger is evidently intended in this record, as this individual is not styled a knight in the record. Also, other records indicate that John Hastang the younger and his wife, Maud, had earlier been jointly enfeoffed with the manor of Chebsey, Staffs., by his father [see Complete Peerage, 6 (1926): 343, footnote n). Given these facts, it seems likely that the elder Sir John Hastang died between 1362 and 1365/7, and that his death was quickly followed by that of his son, John Hastang the younger, who died in 1365, 1366, or 1367.
For interest's sake, I've listed below the names of the 17th Century colonial immigrants that descend from John Hastang the younger and his wife, Maud Trussell. For the links down to the various immigrants, please see Plantagenet Ancestry (2004).
Thomas Booth, Elizabeth Bosvile, George, Giles & Robert Brent, Frances, Jane & Katherine Deighton, Edward Foliot, Thomas Ligon, Anne Mauleverer, Philip & Thomas Nelson, Thomas Owsley, Anthony Savage, Samuel & William Torrey, Amy Wyllys.
For the royalty buffs, below is the line of descent from Henry II of England down to Maud Trussell, wife of John Hastang the younger.
Henry II of England, by a mistress, Ida de Tony.
William Longespée, Knt., Earl of Salisbury, m. Ela of Salisbury.
Ida Longespée, m. William de Beauchamp, Knt., of Bedford, Beds.
Beatrice de Beauchamp, m. Thomas Fitz Otes, Knt., of Mendlesham, Suffolk.
Maud FitzThomas, m. John Botetourt, Knt., 1st Lord Botetourt.
Ada Botetourt, m. John de Saint Philibert, Knt., of Eaton Hastings, Berks.
Maud de Saint Phililbert, m. Warin Trussell, Knt., of Billesley, Warwick.
Maud Trussell, m.John Hastang, of Chebsey, Staffs.
Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah P.S. Hastang is the spelling of this family's surname employed by Complete Peerage and most modern secondary sources that I've consulted. Regardless, you can find some modern genealogical databases which incorrectly spell the name "Hastings." https://groups.google.com/d/msg/soc.genealogy.medieval/1GQ59YlTA1Q/BObZyoPDsg8J
