Discover more about the Order of St John, St John Ambulance and the history of Clerkenwell at our series of free lunchtime talks.

Join us at 12.30pm on Wednesday 12th July for our latest 10 Minute Talk, uncovering the mythical medieval creatures in the story of St John.

Did medieval dragons and African elephants co-exist, and were they a popular attraction amongst the Knights of St John? Did the Knights hunt unicorns and chase dragons? This talk will look at our medieval literature, oral traditions, and iconography in order to explore the animal imagery connected to the Order of St John.

Join us and discover the strange animals that were unique enough to shape the Order’s tradition and narrative.
