A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Jeffries, George

by William H. Husk

JEFFRIES, George, steward to Lord Hatton, of Kirby, Northamptonshire (where he had lands of his own), and organist to Charles I. at Oxford in 1643, composed many anthems and motets, both English and Latin, still extant in MS. Several are in the Aldrich collection at Christ Church, Oxford, and nearly one hundred—eighty of them in the composer's autograph—are in the library of the Sacred Harmonic Society. His son Christopher, student of Christ Church, was a good organist.
