The Knights Templar

This book, we are told, is a little gem. It contains ten papers or essays on the Knights Templar by a variety of authors. The  Chapters headings are:

The Church of the Knights Templars in London

A description of the fabric and its contents with a short history of the Order

This is a very nice ‘coffee table’ book, a fact that is reflected in the price. 

The Order of the Temple, founded in 1119 to protect pilgrims around Jerusalem, developed into one of the most influential corporations in the medieval world. 

I thoroughly enjoy these local histories for they nearly always manage to pack in details that simply cannot be included...

The first thing that we noticed about this slim book was the price. When published three years ago 218 pages, even as a hardback...

This is an interesting little book (63 pages, paperback). Profusely illustrated it is an excellent ‘pictorial guide’...

Whatever does the word 'Bauseant' mean? Why does the Malta Cross have eight points? Whatever is a Turcopolier and why do knights have an Admiral? Over the last 25 years, whilst becoming Provincial Prior in two areas, the late Revd Neville Barker Cryer has produced shorter booklets providing some of the answers to these and other similar questions.
