Anglican vicar. Born Sussex, his father being a cousin of Lord Jellicoe. Worked in the slums of Somers Town, north London in the 1920s. He set up the St Pancras House Improvement Society and persuaded Edward, Prince of Wales to become its patron. Died Uxbridge.
See Gilbert Bayes for one of the advanced ideas Jellicoe put into practice: decorating the courtyards and gardens with works of art, Doultonware ceramics.
London Details has a good post on the Sidney Estate, the Jellicoe project where these lovely finials were erected.
2019: Ian Visits found more Bayes ceramic finials on drying posts at St Hubert’s House, in Janet Street, E14.
