His paternal grandparents were Evelyn Pierrepont, 1st Duke of Kingston-upon-Hull and his wife Mary Feilding, daughter of William Feilding, 3rd Earl of Denbigh. His maternal grandparents were Elizabeth Willoughby by either her husband Thomas Bayntun of Little Charfield of Chalfield or her lover John Hall of Bradford. Pierrepont was the subject of the earliest extant reference to cricket in Nottinghamshire. A letter dated 1751 comments that: "the Duke of Kingston at Thoresby Hall is spending all his time practising cricket because he is to play for Eton v All England in three matches".[1] On 8 March 1769, Pierrepont married Elizabeth Chudleigh, Duchess of Kingston (Elizabeth Hervey) at St George's, Hanover Square London (in a bigamous marriage). Evelyn died in 1773 without issue and his titles became extinct. His estates passed to his nephew Charles Medows (later Pierrepont) who became 1st Earl Manvers in 1806.
