Ugly article

[edit]

This article is ugly, it needs Template:Infobox_President to fit with the other Secretary generals. It needs headings (yes, it's short, but it should still have a few to make it clearer). It could probably do with a complete overhaul to fit the Manual of Style. --StarkRG 07:21, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can't we just rename this to: Gladwyn Jebb?

I'll be bold and do just that! -- = ? 08:40, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why include...?

[edit]

"where he became known to Harold Nicolson and to Vita Sackville-West."

This seems very... odd if not irrelevant. Certainly Jebb knew LOADS of famous people and was known to royalty etc too...? I'm not one of those editors who zealously deletes, so happy to suggest it. --gobears87 (talk) 20:38, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bramfield

[edit]

Might be worth mentioning that, from 1949 till his death, Jebb owned Bramfield Hall in Suffolk -- he was one of the last of the breed who kept large country houses for 'high days and holidays', he and Cynthia hosting social weekends during the Aldeburgh Festival -- and this is why he took the title Lord Gladwyn of Bramfield in 1960, died in Suffolk in 1996 and is buried at St Andrew's Bramfield.
