Following this Introduction you will find a list of a few of the Order of the Temple Jewels I have on display on the website, however before the list of Jewels you will find three links to other pages on this site giving an historical perspective to the The Masonic Order of the Temple and The Knight Templars, both generally and in Ireland in particular.

You will also find additional papers and articles in the above section entitled "Masonic Literature".
