The Hospital of St John Baptist without the Barrs is a building with an adjacent chapel in the city of Lichfield, Staffordshire, England.

[1] The building has ancient roots, once providing accommodation to travellers outside the southern city walls who would arrive in Lichfield after the gates had closed for the night.

The distinctive eight chimneys fronting St John's Street date back to the Tudor period when the hospital served as an almshouse for elderly gentlemen in the city.

At this time Lichfield was a popular place for pilgrims as the new cathedral housed a shrine with the remains of St Chad.

The priory was completed in 1135 and the Bishop installed Augustinian Canons with solemn vows to provide food and shelter for the travellers.

South of the chapel a long stone building was built to provide a home to the Augustinian Canons and where the travellers and pilgrims were accommodated.

For the next 300 years, St John's carried out the function of serving travellers and pilgrims coming to Lichfield.

In 1966/67 the south and western sides of the quadrangle were constructed by Louis de Soissons Architects with a house for the warden and a two-storey building with four two bedroomed flats.

In 1984 the stained glass in the east window of the chapel was replaced by a magnificent interpretation of 'Christ in Majesty' by John Piper.
