Rootwell Born 1968
About Peter
Peter Rootwell is the household’s eye. A working lens-man, he has caught each get-together, christening and milestone since the early nineties — thousands of exposures shaping the breathing half of the albums.
In the journal Peter discourses on halls and legacies, wedding muniment-digging to his own views of the seats and estates braided into our tale.
