Summary

Description
English: Sir Godfrey Kneller, Bt. (1646-1723)

Portrait of Catherine Knatchbull, Lady Rooke (c.1680-1755), three-quarter length, wearing a blue dress

The sitter was the daughter of Sir Thomas Knatchbull, 3rd Bt. and his wife Mary, daughter of Sir Edward Dering. On 16th January 1706 she married Admiral Sir George Rooke, as his third wife. Celebrated as commander of the allied forces at the capture of Gibraltar in 1704, and for the victory over the Spanish at Vigo Bay, Rooke had retired as Admiral of the Fleet in 1705, shortly before their marriage, and never went to sea again. They lived at Lawrence House in Canterbury. Following her husband's death in 1709, Catherine married Rev. the Hon. Henry Moore, Rector of Malpas, son of Henry, 3rd Earl of Drogheda. By her second marriage she had two children: a son, John, who became an Admiral and was made a baronet in 1766, and a daughter, Mary. Catherine died in 1755.
