St John's Hospital

This is Britain's oldest continuously operating almshouse, providing sheltered housing for elderly locals. An enhanced care facility is also available. The grounds are beautiful but are not open to the public. Contact the hospital to find out about open days and about housing. N.b.: I have no idea why there are negative reviews here - this is a wonderful and caring place, so I assume the poor ratings come from trolls. Ignore!

A great piece of local history which at one point in the past would of been one of hundreds if not thousands such places a days walk from the next or last right across the whole of outremer or Christendom. So great it still functions as its original purpose as a hospital and it could be easily missed when passing. As a reenactor portraying the history of the order of St John, and performing every year in Canterbury as such this is a great survivor of history. Ignore the radicals who've left bad reviews or comments they've never been nor know their own history or the history of a time when the Knights of St John lived in harmony with Islamic cultures. When you use ignorance as a weapon of hate you often find these people are the first to cry through weakness
