A late entry in to this discussion but could the second word be Mile? and I am not convinced the first word is Grooms - I think it definitely ends with an s but I do not think there are any o's there - they all look totally different in the other words - possibly Grinns or Grims - this word is open to many interpretations. One point not yet considered is the word preceding these two - is it "of"? - if so it would indicate a place name follows it.
