About
Based in the historic city of Gloucester, G A Baker & Son offers a wide range of new, pre-owned and antique jewellery.
The Mann family has been retailing on the Cross in Gloucestershire since 1741. For over 250 years and 8 generations the family supplied jewellery and time pieces to the county and in 1901 became watchmakers to the Admiralty. In 1862, the then owner, William Mann was appointed Sheriff of the city of Gloucester and to this day the eldest son of each generation becomes a freeman of the city when he reaches 21 years of age.
The original premises were demolished in 1950 to allow for the widening of the streets through the city centre. New premises were built at 3 Eastgate Street, just yards from the Cross and 1985 the family business relocated just around the corner into the iconic GA Baker building in Southgate Street from where Miles Mann now runs the company.
