Rosewycke - W. Boxer Mayne, The Parishes and Churches of S. Grade, S. Ruan Major, and S. Run Minor (in Meneage Cornwall) (London: William Pollard, 1905), p. 25 states:
Older registers than that of Bishop Bronescombe, the twelfth Bishop of Exeter, who was consecrated in 1257, do not now exist. In this register mention is made of a certain priest being instituted Rector "Ecclesie Sancte Crucis de Rosewycke," this reference very evidently pointing to some now forgotten dedication of the Church "within the manor of Rosewycke" to the Holy Cross
With reference to the construction of the name, the submitter offers (Sara L. Uckelman (Aryanhwy mercy Catmael) Index of Names in the 1292 Subsidy Roll of London: Surnames <http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/english/surlondon1292.html>, which gives numerous examples of locative bynames, in the form <given name> + de + <placename>.
