Friends of Lydiard Park

For more than 50 years, the Friends of Lydiard Park have been acquiring, aggregating, writing and storing research connected with Lydiard House and Park. This includes the contents of the museum, the history of the St. John family, other families connected with the St. Johns and the Parish of Lydiard Tregoze.

The most comprehensive research pertaining to Lydiard was published in the form of annual historical Reports (1968 – 2007) by the charity’s precursor, The Friends of Lydiard Tregoz. However, archive material also exists in digital, printed and written records dispersed among multiple repositories, digital records and storage facilities in the UK and abroad. The Friends are currently developing a major project – Project Archive – to bring this information together and make it widely accessible.
