Learn about our exciting project to redevelop the Museum of the Order of St John in Clerkenwell. The Heritage Lottery Fund has confirmed a grant of £1.53 million for our plans to display the Museum treasures in a new exhibition space, to show hidden parts of the Tudor Gatehouse and to create a learning space in the Priory Church.

Leaflet and publication list

Discover the real world of the Knights Templar and Knights Hospitaller. The Temple Church and St John’s Gate were, respectively, part of the medieval headquarters of the Knights Templar and Knights Hospitaller in England.

Both sites are in Central London, within walking distance of each other. Together they form an exciting journey into a world of medieval devotion, conflict, and mystery. 

Please note that the Museum of the Order of St John is now closed for redevelopment until September 2010.
