More about this scene
In 1115, Hugue de Payens and Godfrey de Saint Adhemar founded a small group of Christian knights dedicated to the protection of pilgrims making the journey between Jericho and Jerusalem. The group was known as the Poor Knights of Christ, but it would later become the powerful Knights Templar. A small preceptory was established at Bristol during the late 12th century, and when the Order was suppressed in the 14th century the Temple Church, seen here in 1887, became the Holy Cross parish church.
