About the Grand Priory

We stand proudly as an integral part of a vast global network of Knights Templar organisations within the international Ordo Supremus Militaris Templi Hierosolymitani. Together, we're advancing the knowledge and understanding of Templar history, exploring the rich tapestry that has woven together centuries of tradition, sacrifice, and honour. Our unwavering commitment drives us to uphold the timeless ideals of chivalry, faith, and honour that defined the original Templars. Each member within this noble fraternity champions traditional Christian values and virtues whilst embracing the high-minded ideals of chivalry. We actively engage in charitable work, uplifting communities and providing support where it's most needed.

We also have the vital job of protecting the records, history, and heritage that tell the story of our ancestors—the brave knights who once walked these paths. We're united by our shared mission to keep these lasting principles alive for future generations. Through our work—through education, outreach programmes, and community engagement—we aim to pass down this legacy of integrity and honour so that it continues to matter to people long after we're gone. The spirit of chivalry lives on in us; let us carry it forward with pride!
