Welcome<\/span><\/h1>\n

I wish you a warm welcome to the website for the London Province of “The United Religious, Military and Masonic Orders of the Temple and of St. John of Jerusalem, Palestine, Rhodes and Malta in England and Wales and Provinces Overseas”,<\/strong>\u00a0or as it is more simply known, the Knights Templar. Like Freemasonry, the Order has a number of provinces across the country, the Province of London being one of them. We serve around 900 Knights and I hope this website provides a little more information on our history, setup, charity work and social activities as well as providing a greater understanding and appreciation of our Order. Please feel free to browse and if you have any questions or wish to have more information, we will be delighted to hear from you.<\/p>\n

Yours in the Bonds of the Order<\/p>\n

Rt. E.Kt. David Thompson<\/strong>
\nProvincial Prior for The Province of London<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
