Museum of the Order of St John

The Museum of the Order of St John tells a unique and fascinating story — the story of the Order of St John. Warrior monks set out from the Priory in Clerkenwell to fight for the faith and tend the sick; men, money and supplies went from here to hospitals on the great medieval pilgrim routes; Victorian pioneers began a first aid movement here that spread around the globe and continues today with St John Ambulance and the St John Eye Hospital in Jerusalem.
