Guests at this garden party at Lydiard Tregoze Rectory appear to be mostly ladies. The Vicar at the time was the Revd. Herbert Harrison.

The photograph belonged to Vernon St.John, 6th Viscount Bolingbroke (d.1974) and was generously gifted to The Friends of Lydiard Park by a former friend of his, Anne Barr, in 2023.
