The share of the Earls of Salisbury in Grandisons was inherited by John Earl of Salisbury in 1397 and was held by his son Thomas in 1428. It was in the hands of feoffees in 1433, and was probably bought up like the others by the Rogers or the Essex family. On the sale of the estates of William Essex in the early 17th century Place House, the manor-house of Grandisons Manor, with a considerable amount of land, was bought by Edward Goddard. It was purchased from him by Richard Organ, whose father John Organ had bought land in Uplambourn from the trustees of Essex. Richard's heir in 1638 was his brother John, who in 1640 was succeeded under a settlement by his nephew Richard Hippisley, son of his sister Elizabeth. John son and heir of Richard died in 1722, his son John having predeceased him. Organ Hippisley, son of the latter, was his heir. He died in 1735, and his son John, a child, in the next year. John brother and heir of Organ left no issue, and bequeathed his estates to his distant cousin, the Rev. John Hippisley of Stow, Gloucestershire. The latter left them to his second surviving son the Rev. Henry Hippisley, who died in 1838 and was succeeded by his son Henry. Beatrix, daughter of the younger Henry, married Charles Grove Edwards, whose trustees are now in possession of the Place House Estate.
