George Bitton Jermyn (1789–1857) was an English cleric and antiquarian, known for his topographical and genealogical studies of Suffolk.
Henslow and Charles Darwin used to stop at Swaffham Prior before continuing into the Fens on botanising expeditions.
[11] According to Raleigh Trevelyan, Jermyn was feckless and absorbed in his interests; and the Swaffham Prior period lasted some 19 years.
[5] He set up the Swaffham Prior Natural History Society in 1834, with John Arthur Power as patron.
[12] Jermyn's botanising friend Charles Cardale Babington spent Christmas Day 1838 with him at Longstanton.
[13] The Biographical History of Gonville and Caius College notes that Jermyn was "In the Clergy List 1841–9 as "of Long Stanton House, Cambs.
""[4] Joseph Romilly's diary shows that on 6 January 1841 his good friend Adam Sedgwick was much excited about "Dr Jermyn's atrocity" and the prospect that he had left Shelford for ever.
[2][17] Jermyn, like his uncle Henry, made voluminous collections for a genealogical history of Suffolk, which went to Bury St Edmunds Museum.
