About the Grand Priory

We stand proudly as an integral part of a vast and illustrious global network of Knights Templar organisations within the Supreme Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem (OSMTH). Together, we are passionately advancing the knowledge and understanding of Templar history, delving deep into the rich tapestry that has woven together centuries of tradition, sacrifice, and honour. Our unwavering commitment stimulates our collective effort to uphold the timeless ideals of chivalry, faith, and honour that have defined the original Templars since their inception. Each member within this noble fraternity is devoted not only to championing traditional Christian values and virtues but also to embracing the high-minded ideals associated with chivalry. We actively engage in charitable works aimed at uplifting communities and providing support where it is most needed.

Moreover, we take on the vital responsibility of preserving the archives, history, and heritage that tell the profound story of our forebears—the brave knights who once walked these paths. Together as one united body, we are inspired by our shared mission to illuminate these enduring principles for future generations. It is our fervent hope that through our efforts—through education, outreach programmes, and community engagement—we can pass down this legacy of integrity and honour so that it continues to resonate in hearts far beyond our own time. The spirit of chivalry lives on in us; let us carry it forward with pride!
