Description
-
The Museum of the Order of St John at St John’s Gate has been welcoming visitors for over a hundred years, and contains extensive Museum, Library, and Archive collections which document the creation and progress of the modern Order of St John in England and the Islands, and its charitable arm, St John Ambulance. The collections include historic first aid and medical equipment, documentary evidence of the work of the Order and St John Ambulance, paintings and illuminated manuscripts, rare armour, a bronze cannon given by Henry VIII, ancient coins, decorative furniture, ceramics, silverware, and textiles. Over the road from the Gate is the Priory Church, with its twelfth century Crypt, open to visitors by appointment. The Church’s Priory Gallery features an exhibition on life in the medieval priory and Clerkenwell through the ages. The Church Cloister Garden provides a tranquil space for members of the public to enjoy, and its range of herbs gives an idea of the medicinal gardens that would have been cultivated by the Knights Hospitaller during Medieval times.
