March 2024 – REPORT OF OUR VISIT TO ST JOHN MUSEUM AND CONINGSBY MEDIEVAL HOSPITAL, HEREFORD

The visit got off to a great start with a warm welcome from Peter Harris, the Curator, & his wife who, very kindly, provided tea, coffee and biscuits.

The group of 11 members and 4 guests were invited to sit in the Chapel while Peter gave us a very informative and interesting history of and the connections between the Order of St. John, Knights Hospitallers, Knights Templar, the Dominican Priory, Coningsby Red Coat Hospital and Almshouses and the St. John Museum.

Peter then took us on a tour of the museum, explaining what each of the exhibits represents and where they had come from.

We had plenty of time to peruse the exhibits and ask Peter any questions before going into the garden to explore and dowse the ruined Priory, the unique friars Preaching Cross and the Rose Garden.

A very successful visit, enjoyed by all who came.
