Summary

Mr. John A. Green undertook the exacting conservation of the tomb of Sir John St. John, 1st Baronet, d. 1648, in Lydiard Tregoze Church, Wiltshire. The article indicates the extent of the work done, which involved the complete rebuilding of the monument. The Revd. B. G. Carne places the monument in the setting of the life of Sir John, and suggests that it deserves to rank very highly in any list of our monumental inheritance from the seventeenth century.
