Reference to grimstone being called ingrameston in 1427 and engrymston in whitchurch in 1518-29. Modern form is doubtless due to mistaken division of the name into in grimston (mawer et al).

Rowe's family moved into Grimstone House in 1916, which at that time was rather run down. The west wing was the most habitable part of the house, and despite its size, there was only one bathroom and one other lavatory downstairs in the east wing. Rowe's eldest sister Isabel died tragically in 1918 and her death eventually led to the foundation of the Isabel Rowe Scholarship in Horrabridge School. Stayed at Grimstone until 1929
