Baron Jessel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baron Jessel, of Westminster in the County of London, was a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 8 January 1924 for Herbert Jessell, who had earlier represented St Pancras South in Parliament as a Liberal Unionist from 1896 to 1906 and as a Conservative from 1910 to 1918. He had already been created a Baronet, of Westminster in the County of London, in 1917. Jessel was the younger son of Sir George Jessel, Solicitor-General and Master of the Rolls, and the younger brother of Sir Charles James Jassel, 1st Baronet, of Ladham, who was created a Baronet in 1883 in recognition of his father's services. Lord Jessel was succeeded by his son, the second Baron, who served as a Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords from 1963 to 1977. On his death on 13 June 1990, both titles became extinct.
