Museum of the Order of St John

Warrior monks set out from here 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. Come and visit the Norman crypt, Tudor Gatehouse and new interactive St. John Ambulance Gallery.
