THE LEGACY OF THE GREY FAMILY
- AND TWO SPECIAL GUESTS
The present Earl Grey (the sixth)
and Countess Grey are guests at the
match, and will officially open the
1987 IPM. It was the second Earl
who provided the county's name.
Itis only fitting that the International
Plowing Match in Grey County should
be opened officially by Richard Flem-
ing George Charles Kent Grey, the sixth
Earl of Grey, from Devon, England.
The Earl opens the IPM on Tuesday,
September 15 at 2 p.m. His wife, the
Countess Stephanie Caroline Grey,
opens the family division, Lady Grey
Lane. She will demonstrate how to
make Devon "Pasty" as a celebrity cook
during the match.
Earl Grey's ancestry dates back to
William the Conqueror's grandmother,
and over the ages the Greys have played
an active part in British history. One
Grey of note was the unfortunate Lady
Jane Grey, queen for nine days against

her will and executed at the age of 16.
Grey County received its name in
1852 from the second Earl, who was
British Colonial Secretary when Grey
County was proclaimed on April 15,
1852. His father, the first Earl of Grey,
was English Prime Minister from 1830
to 1834. He was instrumental in form-
ing the present British parliamentary
system and for abolishing slavery in the
British territories. In addition, the fa-
mous tea owes its name to him.
The fourth Earl Grey was such a
popular Governor-General of Canada
that he was re -appointed for three terms
between 1903 and 1911. He donated the
Grey Cup to the Canadian Football
League.0
The IPM gates are open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
Admission is $6 for adults, $2 for children 13 and
under; pre-schoolers are admitted free. There is no
charge for parking.
