Discover more about the Order of St John, St John Ambulance and the history of Clerkenwell at our free Ten-Minute Talk and Tea events which take place on the second Thursday of every month. Tea and biscuits will be provided.
A treasure in the collection of the Historic Library of the Museum of the Order of St John, the Rhodes Missal is no longer on regular display in order to preserve it. At this Ten-Minute Talk and Tea Collections & Engagement Officer Rachel Job will be telling the story of this richly embellished book. Gifted to the Order in the 16th century, it contains the words to celebrate the Catholic Mass and is beautifully illustrated with scenes from the Bible.
This is a free event. Drop-ins welcome, or you can pre-register here. The event will take place in the Museum Galleries which are on ground level with step-free access throughout.
