Today is
Rev Cheales Rose

This picture shows the Reverend Alan Cheales Rose. Alan Benjamin Cheales , b 25 March 1828, was Vicar of Brockham from 1862 until 1892. He was also a passionate rose grower. His rose garden is where the School Hall sands today.

A casual search using 'Google', traced his rose to Germany and the European Rose Centre. They have sent me this picture and a promise to 'graft a rose for Brockham. This should be with us in the fall of 2002. Who says the Internet is not a fantastic tool.
