Ancient gate built by the Order of Hospitaliers from Jerusalem. Was destroyed during Wat Tylers rebellion in 1300s and rebuilt in the 15th century as it is today. Really ancient, historical place with great medieval character and atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit.

A little chunk of history pertaining to the English langue of the Order of St John. St John Gate is a essential stop to those who volunteer with the modern day charity of St John Ambulance. If there, don't forget to visit the museum nestled inside the gate.

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.
