St John's Jerusalem
St John's Jerusalem in Kent is an enchanting small estate centred on the former chapel of a Knights Hospitaller commandery, its stone walls reflected in a moat fed by the River Darent. The garden within the moat is intimate and beautifully planted, and the whole place has a contemplative, other-worldly atmosphere quite at odds with its busy Kent surroundings. It is a peaceful fragment of medieval England that has endured remarkably intact.
