Museum is small but has an amazing story laced through it. Staff were fantastic and you can easily spend an hour reading through the foundation of the Order all the way to present day. It's well worth your time to visit.

Extremely interesting place to stumble across. Although small packed with information and very well set out.

Interesting historical building with lovely museum dedicated to the history of the Order of St John, spanning Jerusalem, Rhodes, Cyprus, Malta etc, and the modern era St John’s Ambulance. It’s free although you can donate, very welcoming staff.
