John Jope Rogers

John Jope Rogers (16 February 1816 – 24 April 1880) was the owner of Penrose, a house and estate near the Cornish town of Helston.

The estate included Loe Pool, the largest lake in Cornwall, now owned by the National Trust.

Part of this estate between Helston and Porthleven, and including Loe Pool, is now owned by the National Trust.

[12] Rogers died on 24 April 1880 and was the second person to be buried in the family vault in Sithney churchyard which was dug in 1856, following the death of his father.

[15] One of Opie's sitters was John Knill (1733–1811), related to the Hichens family into which Rogers married.
