St John Clerkenwell, Medieval church and Grade I listed building in Clerkenwell, England
St John Clerkenwell features stone carvings, wooden furnishings, and stained glass windows that represent traditional ecclesiastical architecture from different construction periods.
The church structure originated in 1140 as part of the Priory of the Knights Hospitallers of St John of Jerusalem before the dissolution of monasteries.
The building maintains its function as a religious center while preserving architectural elements that demonstrate the evolution of English church construction methods.
The church opens for regular services and guided tours, with access from Farringdon Station through multiple London Underground lines and National Rail connections.
The remaining 12th-century crypt and 16th-century gatehouse, known as St John's Gate, stand as remnants of the original medieval priory complex.
