Background
In 1920,Bagnold married Sir Roderick Jones, chairman of Reuters, but continued to use her maiden name for her writing. The Joneses' London house from 1928 until 1969, seven years after Sir Roderick's death, was No. 29 Hyde Park Gate, which meant that they were the neighbours for many of those years of Winston Churchill and Jacob Epstein.
