Alfred Jodrell

Sir Alfred Jodrell, 4th Baronet (1847-1929) was the fourth and last of the Jodrell Baronets, assuming the title in 1882.[1] The title became extinct on his death. Jodrell married Jane Grimston, daughter of James Grimston, 2nd Earl of Verulam.[2]

He founded The Shell Museum[3] in Glanford, near his Norfolk home at Bayfield Hall, to house his collection accumulated over six decades.[4][5] He was a noted public benefactor, restoring old churches,[6] such as St Nicholas, Blakeney, sending provisions to the Norfolk & Norwich Hospital, and rebuilding and administering his estates and other local buildings, such as the watermill.[7][8] He was High Sheriff of Norfolk in 1887.[9]
