The St John Historical Society

St John Historical Society

The St John Historical was founded in 1981 to study the history of the Order of St John and of the other military orders and related topics. For further information about the Society, please visit the Museum of the Order of St John website.

There are no formal qualifications for membership, other than an interest in the subject.

The Society holds monthly meetings, usually at St John's Gate, Clerkenwell. Download our programme for 2012.

Excursions to sites of interest are arranged, usually during summer. Overseas visits have been made to the Netherlands, Switzerland, Malta and the Dordogne.

Annual Proceedings are published by the Society, so that members who are unable to attend meetings in London may have the information given in the lectures. A news-sheet of general interest is circulated to members several times each year.

Guests are welcome to attend their first lecture on a drop-in basis. Subsequently, we invite you to become a member of the Society.

Current subscriptions per annum

  • Single £12, double at the same address £18 
  • If joining after June, pay half annual rate.

Membership forms can be obtained at St John’s Gate or download our application for membership form.
