St John Clerkenwell

[2] A modest rectangular, light-brick rebuild of the former Clerkenwell Priory, it now serves as the chapel of the Order where the banners of Knights and Dames Grand Cross of St John are displayed and its investitures are held.

[3] A chapel, crypt, garden of remembrance, and narrow Georgian entrance building alongside are owned by the Order's eventual successor (established in 1888 by Queen Victoria), the Most Venerable Order of St John which supports St John Ambulance.

[5] The crumbling structure was purchased and conserved by early 18th century London's partly successful commission for Building Fifty New Churches.

[6] In 1868 its living, held by the Revd William Dawson,[7] was a rectory valued £260, in the patronage of the Lord Chancellor.

[9] St James', the larger, successor Victorian church one block away, 150 metres to the south-west, was likewise largely gutted by bombing during The Blitz in 1941.
