James Grooby Rogers

On the south wall of St Margaret's church Westminster is a memorial with medallion bust to James Grooby Rogers. This is signed by sculptor Robert Jackson. The inscription, which is a little faint now, reads:

Born April 23rd 1801. Died May 13th 1872. This monument was erected by several of his friends in remembrance of his faithful services and as a token of their esteem.
