John Roger Burrow Gregory was elected a Governor of the Foundling Hospital in 1892. He served as the Hospital’s Treasurer between 1914 and his death in 1938. He was the son of George Burrow Gregory, MP for East Sussex, who had himself been Treasurer of the Hospital between 1857 and 1892. Roger Gregory was born in the Treasurer’s House in the Hospital grounds in 1861. In his professional life he was a senior partner in the family firm Gregory, Rowcliffe & Co. and was President of the Law Society between 1930 and 1931. His role as Treasurer and his legal expertise meant that he was instrumental in arranging the Foundling Hospital’s move from London to Berkhamsted between 1926 and 1935. From the early 1900s he resided in a cottage that had belonged to his grandfather in the village of Shoreham, Kent. His daughter Phoebe Plant was subsequently elected a Governor of the Foundling Hospital, one of the few women to occupy this position in the Hospital’s history.
