Museum of the Order of St John

The Museum tells the unique and fascinating story of an ancient religious military Order, from its origins caring for sick pilgrims in eleventh century Jerusalem, through to its modern-day role with St John Ambulance, the international first aid charity. The Museum of the Order of St John has a wide range of items in its collections which date from 2000 BC to the present day, and we aim to describe these items in an accurate, inclusive, and respectful manner to preserve their integrity. Some items reflect the language and values of their period, and may contain offensive or discriminatory language, terminology, and images or illustrations that may be upsetting for other reasons. Where possible, we will indicate the existence of this material so that our users are informed.
