York. YO30 1XW

York has evidence of for the presence of people as far back as 7 to 8,000 yrs. BC. It was settled by the Romans then known as “EBORACUM” and to this day the Archbishop of York second most senior bishop in the Church of England signs as “EBOR”. From about 400AD the Anglo Saxons took over and the name became “EOFORWIC” meaning rich in wild boar. They were followed by the Vikings who called it “JORVIC”. Following the Norman Invasion in 1066 York suffered and was badly damaged although it recovered to become the administrative centre for Yorkshire. York began to prosper during the Medieval period and particularly so during the late 14th and early 15th centuries. Being a royalist city York was besieged during the English Civil War eventually being captured by Lord Fairfax in 1644. Recovering from this conflict the city grew and became the 3rd largest City in England after London and Norwich. Each of these periods has left a rich legacy making this one of the most beautiful cities in England.

Places to go

All Knights of the Province are reminded to join in good wishes to their Brother Knights in the Order and throughout the world on Tuesday 25th December 2018, at 5 p.m. GMT

The Grand Master's Council has considered it appropriate that a standard form of prayer be introduced to be offered by Knights Templar on this special occasion in the following words:

"Preserve, O Lord, our Brother Knights
by land and sea and air
and as we hold them in our thoughts
so keep them in thy care."

Freemason's Hall once again is the venue for this annual event. Please try and attend and represent this wonderful Province.

The Abbey Church, Waltham Abbey,
Essex, BA2 7AY

The Annual Provincial Service of Praise will be held at The Abbey Church, Waltham, at 3.00 p.m. on Sunday 12th May 2019. Each Preceptory in the Province is reminded to make arrangements for at least a Banner Bearer to be in attendance to represent them. There will be no need to bring any poles. Make this a memorable event for the Province and attend with your family. There will be the opportunity for refreshments afterwards.

Great Priory this year will be at Freemason's Hall where a number of our Hertfordshire Knights should be receiving Promotions and first appointments. The Festive Board will be in The Connaught Rooms afterwards. Please try and make the effort to attend and support the Hertfordshire Knights.

Provincial Priory will be held at the Metropolitan Police Sports Club in Bushey. The Temple is arranged at The Metropolitan Police Club in Bushey. Thus suggesting that a venue close to the heart of our Province, easy to access, excellent facilities and plenty of parking; continues to attract ever increasing numbers.

The Preceptories are always well represented and the Parade of The Banners is a most moving part of the afternoon.

In addition to the Appointment of the year's Officers and the welcoming of the many visiting dignitaries from other Provinces, many of whom had travelled great distances to be with us, we should once again be in awe of the Bodyguard with their meticulous drill displaying a marvellous attention to detail, thus enhancing and complementing a complex and superbly organised pageant.

This is also an extremely important meeting as the Most Eminent & Supreme Grand Master of the Great Priory of England and Wales and its Provinces Overseas, Right Eminent Knight Paul Raymond Clement, Knight Grand Cross of the United Orders, will be in attendance to dedicate the new Provincial Banner for Hertfordshire. An occasion not to be missed.
