John Vernon's Service

6 December 2023

We celebrated our annual service to remember John Vernon.

On his death, he left a will totalling 28 pages! Vernon entrusted portions of his wealth to the Company to aid poor scholars at St John’s Oxford and assist London’s neediest inhabitants.

The Company continues his legacy of wanting to give and support others in need, and the crammed church and Hall and the generosity of Company members giving to the MT Foundation were proof of that.
