He was born at Parkgate, Neston, Wirral, England, the son of Rev. Algernon Sidney Grenfell,[2] headmaster of Mostyn House School, and Jane Georgiana Hutchison. Grenfell moved to London in 1882. He then commenced the study of medicine at the London Hospital Medical College (now part of Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry) under the tutelage of Sir Frederick Treves: he graduated in 1888. The Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen sent Grenfell to Newfoundland in 1892 to improve the plight of coastal inhabitants and fishermen.[3] That mission began in earnest in 1893 when he recruited two nurses and two doctors for hospitals at Indian Harbour, Newfoundland and later opened cottage hospitals along the coast of Labrador.The mission expanded greatly from its initial mandate to one of developing schools, an orphanage, cooperatives, industrial work projects, and social work. Although originally founded to serve the local area, the mission developed to include the aboriginal peoples and settlers along the coasts of Labrador and the eastern side of the Great Northern Peninsula of northern Newfoundland. For his years of service on behalf of the people of these communities he was later knighted. He married Anne Elizabeth Caldwell MacClanahan (?-1938) of Chicago, Illinois, in 1909. They had three children and retired to Vermont after his work in Newfoundland. Grenfell died of a coronary thrombosis at Kinloch House in Charlotte, Vermont on 9 October 1940.[1] His ashes were brought to St Anthony, where they were placed inside a rock face overlooking the harbour.
