Gresham Cooke

Roger Gresham Cooke (26 January 1907 – 22 February 1970) was a British Conservative Party (UK) politician.

He was the son of Arthur Cooke, F.R.C.S. ["Marriages", "The Times", July 19, 1934, pg. 17] , senior surgeon to Addenbrooke's Hospital ["Obituaries", "The Times", March 15, 1933, pg. 16] . He was Member of Parliament for Twickenham from 1955 until his death in 1970.

He married Rosalie Anne, daughter of J.R.H. Pinckney in 1934 ["Marriages", "The Times", September 3, 1934, pg. 15] . His grandson is the journalist and environmental activist George Monbiot.
