Temple Sowerby is a village and civil parish in Cumbria,
northern England. During the days of the crusades,
a member of the Knights Templar lived there.
The village’s association with the Knights Templar
gave it the name ‘Temple’.
Sowerby is Viking for “a homestead with poor soil”.
The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of
the Temple of Solomon, mainly known as
the Knights Templar, was a French military order of
the Catholic faith, and one of the wealthiest and most
popular military orders in Western Christianity.
They were founded c. 1119, headquartered on
the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, and existed for nearly
two centuries during the Middle Ages. (wikipedia)
