St John's Hospital chantry is a medieval religious foundation located in Gloucestershire. The chantry was established as an endowed institution where priests said masses for the souls of deceased benefactors, a common form of pious investment amongst the medieval gentry and merchant classes. The surviving fabric reflects the religious architecture and practices of the late medieval period, when such institutions proliferated across England before the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII. The site remains an important record of medieval charitable and spiritual provision within the county.
