Sir Jeremiah Colman, 1st Baronet, DL (24 April 1859 - 16 January 1942) was an industrialist who developed Colman's Mustard into an international concern.
Colman was the son of Jeremiah Colman (1807 - 1885) and Isabella Button.[1] Educated at King's College School and St. John's College, Cambridge,[2] Colman joined the J & J Colman mustard business and then served as its Chairman from 1896.[3] He was also Chairman of Commercial Union.[3]
He served as High Sheriff of Surrey from 1893 to 1894 and also became Lieutenant of the City of London.[1] He was created a baronet in 1907.[4]
In 1885, he married Mary McMaster of Mitcham, Surrey.[5] They had one son, also Jeremiah, who succeeded his father in 1942.
In 1888 he purchased Gatton Park, a country estate in Surrey.[6] At Gatton Park he amassed one of the largest collections of orchids in the country.[3] He commissioned Henry Ernest Milner to design the parterre.[7]
He was also keen on cricket and from 1916 to 1923 he was President of Surrey County Cricket Club.[3]
He also funded the Colman Library at the Department of Biochemistry at Cambridge University.[3]
In 1936 he was the recipient of the Silver Fish Award, presented by the founder of Scouting, Lord Baden-Powell, for "making possible" the extension to London's East End Scouting home, Roland House.[8]
Colman's brother in law was the lawyer Charles Tyrrell Giles.[9]
