The Priory of Saint John of Jerusalem was the headquarters of the Knights Hospitallers, and was situated in Clerkenwell, covering 5 acres from the surviving Saint John's Gate (now off Clerkenwell Road) down to Farringdon Street. The monastery was closed during the dissolution and the lands and buildings sold.

The Manor of Saint John of Jerusalem included those parts of the parish of Clerkenwell known as the liberties of Saint John of Jerusalem, as they were part of the priory, and some parts of adjacent parishes. The manor was held in moieties (shares or portions) and the lords held courts leet and courts baron annually on Holy Thursday [Maundy Thursday].

The Manor of Saint John of Jerusalem is sometimes referred to as the Manor of Clerkenwell, however, it should not be confused with the land at Holloway held by the Priory of Saint John of Jerusalem, and also sometimes known as the Manor of Clerkenwell.

These records were deposited in the 1960s.
