Take a tour around the ancient Priory of the Knights Hospitallers with its Tudor Gate House, 16th century Church and 12th century Crypt. In more recent times, St. John Ambulance was founded here. This House can be described as a shrine to the English language, for it was here that Dr Samuel Johnson worked for many years to compile the first comprehensive English Dictionary which was published in 1755. This site spans two thousand years' development of an island people. Little of importance that has happened in England's story has not been echoed in St. Bride's.
