Born in Plymouth in Devon, he was the eldest son of Sir Frederick Rogers, 5th Baronet and Jane Lillicrap, daughter of John Lillicrap.[2] Baptised in Cornwood on 5 October 1780, Rogers was educated at Winchester College in 1795.[2] Two years later, he succeeded his father as baronet.[3] Rogers served in the Queen's Bays (2nd Dragoon Guards), reaching the rank of Captain.[2] From 1812 to 1813, he sat as Member of Parliament (MP) for Callington[4] and in 1838, he was High Sheriff of Devon.[2]
In 1819, Rogers joined the London Madrigal Society and a year later he was appointed its president.[5] He retired from this post in 1841 because of poor health.[5] During this time he had created ten glees and madrigals, psalms and anthems, as well as several others clerical composition.[5] Rogers died unmarried and was buried in Cornwood.
