A Family Affair: Queen Victoria’s family and the Order of St John

Queen Victoria played an important role in the history of the Order of St John, particularly as she made it a Royal Order of Chivalry, but her husband, Prince Albert, and their children were also involved. From translating the first First Aid Manual to supporting St John Ambulance in the Shetland Islands, they all left their mark. Join us for this ten-minute talk to find out more about the work they did.

*Museum Talk and Tea takes place on the second Wednesday of each month. All are welcome.
