Grenville originally studied fine art at Farnham (1938-40), before studying silversmithing at the Central School of Arts & Crafts (1945-7) after the war. Following on from this he ran a workshop in London, before moving to Broxford in Suffolk in 1966, and opening a shop in Clare. In the 1967 Crafts Journal it stated that 'John Grenville is one of the few craftsmen whose work is not subsidised by teaching'.
