Status, Scandal and Subterfuge. Sunday, July 27, 2014. It would appear that the Lady St. Johns had a penchant for gardening.

Status, Scandal and Subterfuge. Saturday, July 26, 2014. John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester. John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester, died on July 26, 1680, aged 33 years old. It had been, how can I put it, an eventful life. The son of Anne St John and her second husband Royalist hero Henry, Viscount Wilmot, John was a bit of an embarrassment to his mother. Upset her was that he wouldn't renounce all of the above on his death bed - and boy did she try hard to persuade him. Back home in London he was the toast...
