Jewell was born in Iquique, Chile, where his father was the British Vice Consul and a councilor of the local municipality in 1879, after the end of the War of the Pacific.
With the exception of one outing for Surrey's seconds two years later, his next appearance was not to be until 1913, when he played for HK Foster's XI: again against Oxford University, and again in a 12-a-side game.
"[5] Not always able to play regularly, in his best year, 1926, he hit 920 runs at 27.05, and compiled his only two centuries: 103 and 125, scored opening the batting in each of two matches against Hampshire.
He talked about him to Hans von Tschammer und Osten, who felt that cricket could never become a steady sport in Germany.
Jewell scored a century in his final match in Berlin, but hit only 4 boundaries - because of the width of the pitch.
Jewell played little from 1930 onwards because of ill-health, and his final first-class game came in 1933, when he made 3 and 16 against the touring West Indians.
