Richard Griffin, 3rd Baron Braybrooke

He was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford, also taking a degree as nobleman at Magdalene College, Cambridge.

[1] In 1797 he assumed, alongside his father, by Royal licence the surname of Griffin in lieu of his patronymic.

He also published The History of Audley End and Saffron Walden (1835) and The Life of Jane, Lady Cornwallis (1842).
