Thomas Jeckyll (1827 Wymondham, Norfolk - 1881) (baptised on 20 June 1827) was an English architect who excelled in the creation of metalwork and furniture strongly influenced by Japanese design, and is best known for his planning in 1876 of the ‘Peacock Room’ at 49 Princes Gate, London. He became mentally unstable, and by 1876 was confined to Norwich Asylum where he later died.
Thomas Jeckyll was a son of George Jeckell, a Nonconformist clerk who had taken holy orders and was married to Maria Ann Balduck. Thomas later changed his surname to 'Jeckyll.' His brother Henry was a brass founder in Dudley.
He is regarded as an important figure in the Aesthetic Movement. His ecclesiastical architecture was often controversial, for example the remarkable polychrome pointed Methodist Church in Holt, Norfolk (1862–3), and the plain Great Hautbois Holy Trinity Church (1864), both in Norfolk.
Jeckyll embarked on his career as a Gothic Revival architect, planning rectories and schools, renovating churches and historic homes, and constructing and improving farmhouses and agricultural buildings.
