To the side of the house is a small garden belonging to St John's and to the rear is the large St. Nicholas' Park.

The other was St Michael's Leper Hospital, founded with the sole purpose of providing help and respite to those in the parish suffering from leprosy.

[4] At the time the hospital site also included a cemetery - remains have often been dug up during refurbishment or remodeling works on the House.

[5] During the Dissolution of the Monasteries at the behest of Henry VIII, St. John's was granted to Anthony Stoughton, for services to the King.

Of note is the fact that in the East Wing of the house there is a door lintel which bears the date 1626 and the initials A.S..

[9] After a brief spell of private tenancy in the start of the 20th century, the house became the property of the War Department, where it was used for the administration of the Home Counties and East Anglian Brigades.

[10] Whilst run as a museum the house exhibits provided information about the history of the site, as well as Warwick and the surrounding area.
