St John: Small Pilgrim Place
This pre-Norman church was until 1304 ‘All Saints’. At that point it was rededicated to St John the Baptist beginning enigmatic relationship with the Order of St John of Jerusalem. St John the Baptist survived the Reformation. The adjoining Priory did not, being dispersed by Henry VIII.
Making this a space which welcomes all - of every faith, and which encourages exploration, hope and healing is why we committed to join the Small Pilgrim Places Network.
