Traces of the Templars

The Knights Templar were one of the most significant institutions of Medieval England. A powerful band of warrior-monks who owned vast tracts of land and were instrumental in the Crusades. Their rise to power and wealth was followed by ruthless suppression, amidst allegations of heresy and black magic; their lands were sequestered and their buildings were demolished, leaving only traces of their former presence in the English landscape today.
