July is #WorldWatercolourMonth and what better way to celebrate than sharing this watercolour of Lydiard House Main Hall, 1951. This watercolour is from a series of watercolours on display at Lydiard House Museum by the Canadian war artist, George Campbell Tinning.

Happy #InternationalCatDay! 🐈️ Here at Lydiard House Museum we love cats & so did previous residents! This image comes from our archive & was taken by local photographer Albert Beaney while on the Lydiard Estate in the 1950s. What a purrfect throwback from the Lydiard Estate.

Are you a book worm? 📖 This #NationalBookLoversDay we are taking inspiration from the many books in our Library which have been passed down through generations of the St John family. Each Viscount added to the collection depending on their hobbies and interests.

Look out for Frederick St John’s Vincennes porcelain, next time you are at Lydiard. Frederick had a large collection of French porcelain, before selling it all to pay off his debts. #OnlineArtExchange #France Art UK

Today is #WorldCalligraphyDay ✒️🖋️ This piece of calligraphy is particularly interesting because it is a Royal pardon! 👑 This royal pardon was issued by King Charles II to Henry, the 1st Viscount St John for killing Sir William Estcourt in 1684.

Are you and your dog best friends? 🐕️🐶 This photo from the Lydiard archive shows a man with man’s best friend on the Lydiard Estate in the 1950s. After World War II the military huts from the camp were converted into homes for young families in Swindon. #NationalDogDay
