	The Convenient Marriage - Grosvenor Square
		Only a few decades earlier the Grosvenor's, later the Duke's of Westminster, had begun developing the property that had been the legacy of a judicious marriage with the heiress, Mary Davies.
		Grosvenor Square was built on the site of what had been a riotous fair held there each May, and not surprisingly, known as the May Fair, thus giving its name to what was to become one of London's most exclusive suburbs.
		The Grosvenors changed the methods of property development and made their fortune by reducing the length of leases.
