011 The Site of an ancient house by some called "Templar's Leu", by others called "Templar's House". Supposed to have been inhabited by the Knights Templar's in the thirteenth century, they were a body established at Jerusalem about the year 1118, and vowed to defend the Temple, and to guard and entertain Pilgrims and Strangers; They wore a white habit with a red cross, and were called by some the Red Friars. They were a Secular body as well as religious, therefore their houses had no dedicatory name, further than, Templar's House or religious House.
