Photographs of St.John family silverware at the home of Vernon 6th Viscount Bolingbroke at Moorhayes, near Ringwood in Hampshire. They show the

silver rosebowl presented to Lord Bolingbroke on his 21st Birthday in 1917 and a

silver tea service. In the photograph showing the tea service, Lord Bolingbroke's Honourable Discharge Notice (1918) can be seen on the wall.

These items were returned to Lydiard Park in the 1980s. The photographs were kindly donated to The Friends of Lydiard Park by Anne Barr in 2024, part of a larger collection of St.John memorabilia.
