Jago Nicholas Aldo Eliot, Lord Eliot (24 March 1966 [GRO Register of Births: JUN 1964 7A 849 PLYMOUTH - Jago Nicholas Eliot, mmn = Lampson] – 15 April 2006) was the son of the 10th Earl of St Germans and his wife Jacquetta Eliot, Countess of St Germans (nee Lampson.)

In 1988, on the death of his grandfather, he was styled Lord Eliot. Educated at Millfield School, he was known for his hobbies of surfing and was the European body boarding champion in 1988.

He married Bianca Ciambriello [GRO Register of Marriages: SEP 2002 368 1080 C17 ST GERMANS - Eliot = Ciambriello] and had one son, Albert Charger, and twin daughters, Ruby and Violet. He died on 15 April 2006. He was determined to have died from epilepsy, which he had developed in 2004.

Eliots cultural impact across a variety of scenes was considerable, an early collaborator with Eddie Izzard at Covent Garden as a busker, he then moved to Brighton in the late 80s where he inspired and promoted a number of legendary nights at the ZAP club, including Fundamental [ [http://archive.theargus.co.uk/2006/4/19/209941.html Tributes to the lord of all ravers ] ] and Pow Wow which created a miraculous fusion of performance and dance culture. He eventually returned to Cornwall in the mid 90s to pursue an academic and artistic exploration of the emerging digital realm [http://x2.i-dat.org/~je/2005/Presentation/]

In 2003, he married Bianca Ciambrello, stepdaughter of the Plymouth artist Robert Lenkiewicz, who had painted the murals in the Round Room at Port Eliot. The couple were first "married" in the "Lost Vagueness" garden at the Glastonbury Festival before a more formal ceremony at Port Eliot. The alternative wedding is featured in Julian Temple's recently-released film Glastonbury. [ [http://www.glastonburythemovie.com/ Glastonbury The Movie ] ]

Eliot worked with digital and creative projects, either with the Arts Council or the Port Eliot Literary Festival [ [http://www.londonart.co.uk/editorial/article.aspx?c=2&articleid=1774 Londonart.co.uk Magazine ] ] , and London Arts projects. Shortly before his death, Eliot had been awarded an Artist Fellowship in Creative Technology by Hewlett-Packard and was exploring invisible sculpture and 3D soundscapes.

He also began to develop strategies to ensure Port Eliot would continue to be a vibrant cultural laboratory, building on the legend of the Elephant Fair and helping define the ethos the [ Port Eliot Literary Festival [ [http://books.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,,1832404,00.html Laid back in Cornwall | News | Guardian Unlimited Books ] ] through conversations with friends such as Tom Hodgkinson of the Idler magazine [ [http://idler.co.uk/The Idler ] ] . His passion for the arts saw him also involved with the A Foundation [ [http://www.afoundation.org.uk/afoundation/index.php A Foundation | About ] ] , through his Literati project and i-DAT with the A Conversation at Port Eliot in 2006. This was the first in a proposed series on emerging ideas in art, science and technology organised by Jago Eliot and The Institute of Digital Art and Technology at the University of Plymouth. The themes for this seminar wereart and irrationalityanda geography of the immaterial’.
