More about this scene
Temple Sowerby commemorates the Knights Templar who afforded protection to pilgrims journeying to Jerusalem and held the manor here for over a century and a half. Following the suppression of the Knights Templar, in 1323 the Knights Hospitallers succeeded them, holding the manor for over two centuries until 1543 following the dissolution of religious houses. The present manor house, Acorn Bank, dates from 1656. An historic herb garden, open to the public, is cared for here by the National Trust.
