Biography
"Sir John de St. John died 1230, leaving a widow, Emma, and a son, Roger St. John; and this same year Geoffrey Le Despencer, Lord of Marcheley or Marteley, Worcestershire, married the said Emma, giving £100 for the wardship of her son Roger St. John, the first and last Baron St. John of Stanton." [1]
"Sir John Le Despencer, as well as Roger de St. John, joined the Barons in the great civil struggle against Henry III., and they both attended the celebrated Council summoned at Oxford in 1258, commonly known as 'the Mad Parliament.'" [2]
1262 Feb 5, Roger de Sancto Johanne, Lageham in Walkested (Lagham Manor). Roger St John. [3]
"In 1265 Roger de St. John was killed at the battle of Evesham, his estates were confiscated, and ' Swaluefelde and one messuage and one carucate of lands in Beaumys with woods and rents and all appurts ' were granted to Roger de Leybourne, and in Charter Roll 49 Hen. III. we read that ' only a messuage in Beaumys remained the property of Sir John Le Despencer.'" [4]
Notes
28 Jan 1254: "The like to Roger de Sancto Johanne of free warren in all his demesne lands of Barthon, co. Oxford, and Shiningefeld co. Berks. Witnesses as above." [5]
12 Jun 1265: "Power to Simon de Monte Forti, earl of Leicester and steward of England, and to Roger de Sancto Johanne the king's secretary, to treat in the king's name with Llewelin son of Griffin touching all discords between him and the king." [6]
The Arms shown are recorded by the Heralds for Roger de Saint John, about three weeks after the Battle of Caerlaverock (c. 1300), as having been borne by knights present with Edward I on his Scottish campaign. Since this Roger is shown as d. in 1265, we can safely assume he was not present at the battle and that someone else in this line bore them.

At least some St Johns are using these arms c. 1240, and appear on The Glover's Roll of Arms. Whether this Legeham line did, or not, is another matter.
