St. John’s has been caring for the city’s needy since the 12th century. Bishop Reginald Fitzjocelyn founded the hospital for the poor of Bath, which in practice seemed to mean the elderly and infirm, who could not work. Today St John’s provides pleasant apartments for the elderly around a charming courtyard. Some of the present buildings were designed by famed Bath architect John Wood in the Palladian style.
