About the Talk The story of the medieval Knight’s Templar is shrouded in mystery.They are presented today as warrior monks with images depicting knights carrying white shields,wearing white jupons and cloaks each item bearing a red cross. But how much do we really know about them? The talk will focus on local detail rather than international myths, examining the working of this military order through its remarkable and little-visited 13th century building in Strood.
