Rose COOPER

Rose COOPER
1841

In 1892, Rose Cooper donated a painting (as did her sister Mrs Emily Latham GREENFIELD) to the fund for restoring the organ in St Johns-in-the-Fields, the Anglican church at Halsetown, near St Ives.

The 1901 Census lists as an artist/painter the 60 year old sister of the head of household (Mrs) Emily GREENFIELD, living in Bellair Terrace, and from Brighton. Tovey also references her as a painter who took part in the social entertainments provided by the artists.  Photographs of Rose Cooper in theatrical costume are reproduced in his book 'St Ives : A Social History', and she is listed in subsequent masquerades.
