taken 2 years ago, near to Sherborne, Dorset, England

Sherborne - St Johns' Almshouses
Sherborne - St Johns' Almshouses
The full title of this fine building is the 'Hospital of Saints John the Baptist and John the Evangelist'. These almshouses are in the Abbey Close just yards from the abbey church. They were founded in 1437 and completed in 1448 to house 12 poor men and 4 poor women.
Note that the apostrophe follows rather than precedes the S of Johns - because its dedication is to the two Saints John.
