St John's Commandery Open House
Heritage Open Day: Step inside the flint-walled 13th-century chapel & hall of a ‘Commandery’ of Knights Hospitallers. Discover the building’s rich history, from its monastic origins to later use as a farmhouse, and look up to spot the striking medieval crown-post roof. Step into the atmospheric 13th‑century chapel and hall of a former Knights Hospitallers commandery, managed today by English Heritage. Originally built around 1230, this flint‑walled gem served both religious and domestic purposes—first as a medieval chapel, later as a farmhouse following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 1530s.
Look up to admire the striking medieval crown‑post roof, with timbers dating to circa 1400, replacing an earlier structure.
