Biography
[edit | edit source]Rolleston was born in 1737, the son of John Rolleston, the minister at Aston-on-Trent and Dorothy his wife.[1] Rolleston's family seat was Watnall Hall in Nottinghamshire.[2]
In 1762–3 Francis Noel Clarke Mundy commissioned a set of six portraits of his friends in the Markeaton Hunt and one of these was Rolleston. Each of the subjects was in the distinctive dress of the Markeaton Hunt, consisting of a blue coat over a scarlet waistcoat and yellow breeches. These paintings hung at Mundy's ancestral home, Markeaton Hall.[3]
