The Order of St John
Charles Perrett recently shared photographs that were taken at St. John’s Gate, home of the Order of St. John. Images below relate to Colonel Sir Herbert Charles PERROTT, Ethel Lucy, Lady PERROTT, and Sir Edward George Lambert PERROTT. Most members will no doubt recognise the familiar pears used in the arms of the PERROTT family. Charles notes that: “ Knights or Dames of the Order (KStJ, DStJ) can put the cross of the Order behind their arms. Knights and Dames Grand Cross (GCStJ) may also put the arms of the Order “in chief” above their own arms, they are also entitled to apply for heraldic supporters. Also worth noting that the Order of St John is a Royal Order and not a State Order like the Order of the British Empire etc. so knights of St John are not called Sir.”
