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.
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. Meetings begin at 7pm.

Excursions to sites of interest are usually arranged for the summer months. 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
