But the traces they left behind on the land can still be seen and with a combination of stunning photography historical imagery and detailed descriptions this book provides not only a history of the Templars but also the first comprehensive survey of all the Templar sites in Britain. The author has researched and visited every site; he explains what there is to be seen and the history and mythology behind it - as well as directions on how to get there.
