The Docwra family memorial gateway

We can't find any information explaining these gates but they were probably part of the 1958 post-war rebuild of the church and cloisters.

Site: Docwra memorial gates (1 memorial)

EC1, St John's Square, Church of the Priory of St John of Jerusalem

Gate-building seems to run in the family: in 1504 Sir Thomas Docwra rebuilt the nearby St John's Gate.
