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 provided.

The Order of St John was founded in 11th century Jerusalem with Saint John the Baptist as its patron saint. In this talk by Visitor Welcome Assistant, Maggie Sotiriou, discover how St John the Baptist is depicted in our museum objects and how his story is told in works of art. We explore the links between his mission and the values of the Order of St John and what his legacy means today.

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.
