Rev George Aubertin Willoughby Rooke
I am working on a discovery day for a church in Little Wymondley, on the Hertfordshire Bedfordshire borders in England.I have a friend who lives there and as part of the research for the day we wanted to uncover some of the history of the Rooke family.
The above was the vicar of the church and died in 1868.His family not only dedicated a windiw to him but also two other windows in the chancel and sanctuary are dedicated to members of the same family.I have managed to get this much information together:
