  • Templars' Court
    Templars’ Court 2. 3. About Temple Sowerby Temple 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.

For lunch head over to The Brasserie at Wivenhoe House, just 10 minutes from the garden. It is surrounded by beautiful woodland and actually sits in the grounds of Essex University, but you wouldn’t know it! AFTERNOON: COLCHESTER TOWN AND MERSEA ISLAND Again, just a 10 minute drive from Wivenhoe House and you will be in the vibrant town of Colchester.

L'origine di quest'ordine viene fatta risalire agli anni 1118-1120, subito dopo la prima crociata del 1096, per aiutare il nuovo Regno di Gerusalemme a resistere contro gli sconfitti musulmani e per assicurare la sicurezza dei numerosi pellegrini europei che visitavano Gerusalemme dopo la sua conquista.

Venivano reclutati soprattutto tra i giovani della nobiltà, desiderosi di impegnarsi nella difesa della cristianità in Medio Oriente. L'ordine militare così formato aveva una gerarchia assai rigida.

A dispute between them and another tribe was an excuse for Roman invasion. AD43 Colchester became the capital of Roman Britain, which Boudica in AD60 destroyed in her revolt. AD527The name Essex derives from the Kingdom of the East Seaxe or Kingdom of Essex which was traditionally founded by Aescwine AD654 St Cedd built St peters on the wall church at Bradwell- on sea- using roman stones. It’s the oldest church in the county and the 19th oldest building in the country. AD991 The Battle of Maldon resulted in complete defeat of the Anglo-Saxons by the Vikings, and is commemorated in the poem ‘The Battle of Maldon’ 1060 The World’s oldest wooden church Greensted Church was built, however two earlier timber structures were found dating back to the 6th century. 1066 King Harold was buried in Waltham Abbey Church. He was the last Anglo-Saxon King and died in the Battle of Hastings fighting Norman invaders led by William the conqueror. 1137 Cressing Temple was given to the Knights Templar which built in the 13th century is now one of the few surviving Templar buildings in England.
