Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: St John's House Museum Built in the 1620s by Anthony Stoughton on the estate of St John's Hospital which had been granted to his grandfather (also Anthony Stoughton) by Henry VIII. The building stayed in the hands of the Stoughton family until 1788 when it was sold to the Earl of Warwick six centuries after a previous earl had founded the original hospital. The building then housed boarding schools for the next century or so.
From 1915 onwards the house was let to a variety of tenants until 1958 when Warwick County Council negotiated to purchase St John's at a price of £10,000, of which £2,500 was contributed by the Royal Warwickshire Regiment. It was opened as a museum by Lord Montgomery in 1961. The first floor houses the Warwickshire Regimental Museum and offices, whilst downstairs displays various exhibits from the County's social history collection. (Summary of museum leaflet) |
