About Temple SowerbyTemple Sowerby, situated at the foot of the Fells halfway between Penrith and Appleby, boasts the nickname the

“Queen of Westmorland Villages”, although its actual name comes from the Knights Templar who were granted

the Manor of Temple Sowerby in 1228.

The original manor house was later passed to the Knights Hospitallers, prior to the Templar order being bloodily

suppressed in 1312, and was then seized in 1545 by Henry VIII, who granted the manor of Temple Sowerby to

Thomas Dalton. The red sandstone manor house, built partly in the 16th Century, then added to in the 18th

Century, now belongs to the National Trust and is known as Acorn Bank.

The village is set around a traditional village green, and boasts mid-16th Century rubble-and-thatch buildings

intermingled with 18th and 19th Century buildings – it is also one of few Westmorland villages retaining a maypole.

Today, a truly rural community enjoy the tranquility that the recently built A66 by-pass has bought by diverting

some 13,000 vehicles a day which used to dissect the village.

The Biscuit......comes from Knights Templar history - from the time ofthe crusade where the Knights Templar would make a largeflat bread and bake it twice to prevent it from going mouldy.

About Cumbrian Homes

Unlucky Friday 13th......comes from the Knights Templar history

in France when the Pope rounded up allKnights Templars and accused them

of heresy. The Pope dissolved theorder in 1312.

The Knights TemplarThe Knights Templar were a religious military order

established in 1118 to protect pilgrims and the Holy

Sepulcher.

The Order’s battle honours in defence of the Holy Land

were many, but, following the fall of Jerusalem in 1187, the

Templars withdrew to Acre. They remained at Acre with

Grand Master William de Beaujue until 1291 when the city

was captured and he was killed. The Order withdrew to

Limasol, Cyprus and it had its Headquarters at the Temple

Monastery in Paris.

The order had become fabulously wealthy through its own

banking system which began to attract the envy and greed

of others. The principal malefactor was Phillipe le Bel,

King of France, who was financially indebted to the Order.

In 1307, Phillipe arrested all serving Templars in France

with Grand Master Jaques de Molay and others burnt at

the stake in March 1314. In England, Edward II (a patron)

at first did not take any action against the Order, but

finally allowed the inquisitors to judge the Order and then

set about reclaiming English Templar lands and

possessions, including the London Temple, or passing them

to the Knights Hospitallers. After Edward’s actions, the

Templars sought refuge in Scotland where they were

welcomed.
