Rootham Samuel Blinkhorn, clerk

In 2022 ML sent this note about Rootham Blinkhorn:

I have been researching the Levett family history on Ancestry for a number of years and have found out quite a lot about Rootham, who seemed to have been lodging in a number of houses before marrying Elizabeth late in life in 1882, eventually living at 14 Church Street Cambridge (but seems to have lodged there with Elizabeth when the property was owned by his niece Florence Levett Ingrey). A relative of mine remembered  in the 1980s that Rootham had an ear trumpet and I think both he and Elizabeth attended Eden Baptist Church in Cambridge.

Dear Visitor,

Thank you for exploring historical Cambridgeshire! We hope you enjoy your visit and, if you do,  would consider making a donation today.

Capturing Cambridge makes accessible thousands of photos and memories of Cambridge and its surrounding villages and towns. It is run by the Museum of Cambridge which, though 90 years old, is one of the most poorly publicly funded local history museums in the UK. It receives no core funding from local or central government nor from the University of Cambridge.

As a result, we are facing a crisis; we have no financial cushion – unlike many other museums in Cambridge – and are facing the need to drastically cut back our operations which could affect our ability to continue to run and develop this groundbreaking local history website.

If Capturing Cambridge matters to you, then the survival of the Museum of the Cambridge should matter as well. If you won’t support the preservation of your heritage, no-one else will! Your support is critical.

If you love Capturing Cambridge, and you are able to, we’d appreciate your support.

Every donation makes a world of difference.

Thank you,
Roger Lilley, Chair of Trustees
Museum of Cambridge
