St John Ambulance Brigade

Site: St John's Cloister Garden of Remembrance (9 memorials)

EC1, St John's Square, St John's Cloister Garden

The cloister garden is accessed through the gates in the building on St John Square. . The garden was first established in the post war reconstruction, the Blitz having removed some buildings which had been on the site.

Most of the memorials are in the cloister (seen in our photo) on the eastern boundary wall of the garden. Walking this from north to south you will see: St John Ambulance Brigade; St John Ambulance Association WW1 and WW2; Interred; Centenary; Joint Committee; Cannonball and Priory Church.

The Crucifixion plaque is low on the external wall of the cloister. The 1907 Repairs plaque is on the garden's north boundary wall (the church's south wall).
