- Q5082922 abstract "Thomas Edward Rowcroft was a prominent merchant and an Alderman of the City of London. He was heavily involved in benevolent outreaches such as the Subsciption for the Irish Famine, the Waterloo Subsciption for the famlies of soldiers killed during the Napoleonic Wars and various Literary and artistic societies.He was appointed by Foreign Minister George Canning as the first British diplomatic representative in Peru. He arrived in Lima as Consul General in 1824, accompanied by his daughter, Leonora Maria. His son and writer Charles was in Tasmania Australia which he left in the Cumberland in September 1825. Another son Horatio Nelson (Horace Rowcroft was also farming in Tasmania at the time.At this time Lima was temporarily in the power of the royalists. Conditions in the city were awful. However, shortly after Rowcroft's arrival Simón Bolívar returned to Lima from the interior and the Spanish retreated to Castle of Real Felipe. Rowcroft decided to go to Callao the port of Lima to deliver letters to HMS Cambridge under Captain Thomas Maling and arranged for a safe pass through the royalist lines. On the return from his visit he handed in his safe pass but, as his coach left the outpost, it was struck by a hail of bullets. Rowcroft was wounded in the hand and the torso and died on 7 Dec 1824 at the home of a British merchant. Leonora was taken on board the HMS Cambridge. The Consul was buried on Saturday morning 11 December 1824 on San Lorenzo Island of the coast from Callao. Captain (later Admiral Thomas Maling was the chief mourner.There is now little doubt that Rowcroft was accidentally shot by the Independents under Simon Bolivar. It is said that the royalist officer who gave him the safe pass had, unknown to Rowcroft, written a death sentence on it. His daughter returned to England the following year after disposing of her father's goods and married Alfred Samuel Robinson, a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, on 4 December 1827.At Markham College, the only house not named after a military figure is Rowcroft.".
