Tour Scotland Photograph John Millar Roger Memorial Window Martyrs Church St Andrews

Tour Scotland photograph of the John Millar Roger Memorial stained glass window in Martyrs Church in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. The figure of Christ is portrayed sowing seed surrounded by a bird, thistle and background images of crops, angels and a dove. John was a farmer in Cupar.

Recorded in over seventy different spellings ranging from Roger, Rodger, and Rodgier, to diminutives and patronymics such as Rogers, Ruggiero, Di Ruggero, Ruckhard and Roggeman, the ancient Roger surname is of Old German pre 7th century origins. The first recorded spelling of the family name anywhere in the world is believed to be that of Richard Roger, which was dated 1263 in England.
