Earl of Stamford

The title Earl of Stamford is an extinct title in the Peerage of England. It was created in 1628 for Henry Grey, 2nd Baron Grey of Groby. In 1796 the fifth Earl was created Earl of Warrington in the Peerage of Great Britain with the subsidiary title Baron Delamer. The Warrington titles became extinct on the death of the seventh Earl of Stamford and third Earl of Warrington in 1883. All the remaining titles became extinct on the death of the tenth Earl in 1976.

The Earls inhabited Enville Hall, Staffordshire, and the descendents continue to do so to this today.
