Rowse wrote poetry all his life.

Unusually for a British poet, Rowse wrote a great number of poems inspired by American scenery.

AL Rowse wrote of him:

Mentioned in the parody " Diary by Isaiah Berlin as told to Craig Brown ", Private Eye no 1239, 9 July 2009, in which Rowse plans a dinner for Princess Margaret at All Souls College.

Despite his parents being poor and semi-illiterate, he won a place at St Austell County Grammar School ( now Poltair School-which has named part of its curriculum the Rowse Pathway ) and then a scholarship to Christ Church, Oxford in 1921.

It has been proposed by A. L. Rowse that he was homosexual.

Rowse, who had once been a close friend of Taylor's, attacked him with an intensity and vehemence that was second to only Trevor-Roper's.

Herbert J. Rowse was appointed as architect and he designed to hall in art deco style ; it cost a little over £ 120, 000 (£ as of ).

Alfred Leslie Rowse, CH, FBA ( 4 December 1903 – 3 October 1997 ), known publicly as A. L. Rowse but to friends and family as Leslie, was a British historian from Cornwall.

Rowse was born at Tregonissey, near St Austell, Cornwall, the son of Richard Rowse, a china clayworker, and Annie ( née Vanson ).

Rowse had planned to study English literature, having developed an early love of poetry, but was persuaded to read history.

While Cripps was expelled for his views, Rowse worked on getting ' local arrangements ' agreed by Labour and Liberal parties in Devon and Cornwall, making a common cause with the Liberal MP Sir Richard Acland.

A general election was expected to take place in 1939, and Rowse, who was again Labour's candidate for Penryn & Falmouth, was not expected to have a Liberal opponent which would make his chances of winning much greater.

Rowse was dismissive of those who rejected his views, but he did not make such assertions without supplying reasons.

Rowse was a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society ( FRHistS ) and of the Royal Society of Literature ( FRSL ).

Rowse was a hoarder and boasted that his unpublished diaries, journals, letters and pocket books would keep a Rowse industry going long after his death, in the manner of Boswell or Horace Walpole.

Tang said Rowse was a civil servant and as such was not required to be held politically responsible.

Tang had said that although Mike Rowse, a senior civil servant, had actually signed the contract, Rowse as such was not required to be held politically responsible.

He noted that Tang's attempt to shift political responsibility from himself, as the minister responsible, to a senior civil servant, was a travesty of justice for Rowse, and went against the Accountability System.

He was a friend of such writers as Siegfried Sassoon, A. L. Rowse, Jack Clemo and Ted Hughes ( his closest friend ).

The authorship of the tracts has been attributed to several persons: to Penry himself, who however emphatically denied it and whose acknowledged works have little resemblance in style to those of Martin, to Sir Michael Hicks ( by the historian A. L. Rowse ), Henry Barrow, and to Warwickshire squire and Member of Parliament Job Throckmorton, whom most Marprelate scholars now believe was the primary author with the assistance of Penry.

In his 1977 book, Homosexuals in History, historian A. L. Rowse suggests that Beauchamp's failed appointment as Governor of New South Wales was the inspiration for Hilaire Belloc's satirical children's poem, Lord Lundy.

A chapter of a forthcoming biography of Rowse by Donald Adamson appeared in the Cornish magazine An Baner Kernewek February 2012-see Biography below.

The main employers based in the town are primarily on the Hithercroft Trading Estate ( established in the 1970s ), these include Rowse Honey, Royal Mail and Fugro and to the South East on the outskirts of the town the headquarters for the non-profit agricultural organisation CABI.

Rowse is best known for his work on Elizabethan England and his poetry about Cornwall.

In 1963 Rowse began to concentrate on Shakespeare, starting with a biography in which he claimed to have dated all the sonnets, identified Christopher Marlowe as the suitor's rival and solved all but one of the other problems posed by the sonnets.

As well as his own appearances on radio and television, Rowse has been depicted in various TV drama documentaries about British politics in the 1930s and appeasement.

However, during a Working Group meeting on 31 October 2003 and during an independent inquiry in May 2004, Tang allegedly said Rowse had not acted improperly and that there had been no irregularity in the implementation of the event.

Internal governmental disciplinary process fined Rowse for misconduct, but a High Court judge quashed the government ruling on 4 July 2008.

Trescothick married Hayley Rowse in Trull, Somerset, on 24 January 2004, and the couple have two daughters, Ellie Louise ( born April 2005 ) and Millie Grace ( born January 2008 ).

Herbert J. Rowse was commissioned to design a new hall on the site of the previous hall.

India Buildings on Water Street, Liverpool, England, was built between 1924 and 1932 for Alfred Holt's Blue Funnel Line, the architect was Herbert Rowse.

Herbert James Rowse ( 1887 – 1963 ) was a British architect, born in Crosby, Merseyside on the northern outskirts of Liverpool.

L. Rowse is one prominent example, and others have followed his lead — have exploited Forman's manuscripts for the manifold lights they throw on the less-exposed private lives of Elizabethan and Jacobean men and women.

Rowse endured doubting comments about his paternity, thus he paid particular attention to his mother's association with a local farmer and butcher from Polgooth, near St Austell, Frederick William May ( 1872 – 1953 ).

Historians of that period, such as J. E. Neale ( 1934 ) and A. L. Rowse ( 1950 ), interpreted Elizabeth's reign as a golden age of progress.

Neale and Rowse also idealised the Queen personally: she always did everything right ; her more unpleasant traits were ignored or explained as signs of stress.

John Dover Wilson thought it almost certain that the figure of Polonius caricatured Burleigh, while A. L. Rowse speculated that Polonius's tedious verbosity might have resembled Burghley's.
