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.

Annie Brassey was a writer, traveller, and supporter of the St John Ambulance Association, who gained her interest in emergency and medical care after being involved in an accident as a child. She sailed around the world in her yacht, the ‘Sunbeam’, promoting the Association, writing about her travels and capturing them on film, and collecting natural and ethnographic ‘curiosities’. Come and hear Archivist Sophie Denman shine a light on one of the women of St John in honour of Women’s History Month.

This is a free event. Drop-ins are welcome, or you can pre-register through Eventbrite. The event will take place in the Museum Galleries which are on ground level with step-free access throughout.
