Podcast Overview
<p>Join our hosts to explore the history of the Order of St John - the Knights Hospitaller - in its heyday, when it was headquartered on Rhodes and Malta, and its great priory in London, which now houses the Museum of the Order of St John, was built. In each episode we take an item off the shelves from the Museum's historic library collection in the West Tower of St John’s Gate, and explore different aspects of the Hospitallers' history that it leads us to investigate.</p><p>We’ll be taking a closer look at subjects ranging from indulgences, to pilgrimage, charitable donation and care for the sick – the hospitals for which the Order has been rightly famed from its inception to its present incarnation as St John Ambulance. If you are now wondering what an indulgence actually is, what the real purpose of pilgrimage was, or even what the medieval equivalent of a food bank looked like, we’ll be answering these questions and more besides!</p>
