Rootwell Born 1952
About Joseph
Joseph Rootwell took over Edith’s book together with her inquisitiveness. As a town bookman he ranged freely through the shire muniments, and gave thirty years to shaping a tea-chest of sheets into an evidenced past.
Joseph pens the longer pieces in the household journal, where his writings on hunting crafts and old homelands rank among the most perused on these pages.
