- Made a Knight of the Bath in 1488
Ancestor of the Viscount Bolingbroke line.
From: Portculis

5. Sir John St. John, Knight of the Bath, was found to be aged forty or more AT THE DEATH OF HIS MOTHER in 1482-3. As his father died in 1437, he must have been born shortly before his father's death. He married Alice Bradshaw, daughter of Thomas Bradshaw of the Haugh, Lancashire. Bartrum states that he married (2) Elizabeth, daughter of Wililam Fawr, son of Sir David Mathew of
Llandaf Court. I have no reason to doubt this, but all children are indicated to be by the first wife, Alice. Strangely, no inquisition or will has been found for this Sir John.
Sir John and Alice (Bradshaw) St. John also had a daughter, Anne St. John, who married, by 1493 (the birth year of their son and heir), Henry, Lord Clifford, "the Shepherd Lord."
FARLEY CHAMBERLAYNE
AND ST JOHN'S CHURCH
The monuments in the church present an interesting story in themselves. The tomb under the canopy is that of William St John, who was born at Farley in 1538, and buried there in 1609. ...One of his most interesting ancestors was Sir John St John, who was knighted by his cousin Henry VII in 1487, for having brought forces to the King's aid in the Lambert Simnel rebellion. He was later made Chamberlain to Margaret, Countess of Richmond, the King's mother, and was named in her will as one of her executors. Sir John was related to Henry through his grandmother, who married first Oliver St John, and after his death John Beaufort Duke of Somerset. Their daughter was Margaret, mother of Henry VII.
This link with the Tudor dynasty is commemorated on one of the black marble tombstones in the chancel, which bears the name of Oliver St John who died in 1689.
The St John family were Lords of the Manor for nearly two hundred years, and their manor house, all trace of which has vanished, stood on the ground to the north of the church. It was probably built between 1524 and 1538. ... the property passed to the distaff side on the death of the last male St John in 1699. His heirs, however, added the name of St John to their own of Midmay, and held the property until eventually it was sold ...
