Brauncewell and Temple Bruer, 12th May 2019






Rab's walk started in Brauncewell and took us across flat, open, Lincolnshire countryside using a section of the High Dike path, part of Ermine Street . The highlight of the walk was the 12th century Knights Templar preceptory tower.






The start


Temple Bruer Preceptory is one of the few Knights Templar sites left in England where any ruins remain standing.  Its name comes from its Templar ownership and its position in the middle of the Lincoln Heath, bruyère (heather) from the French language current at the time.

No way, Jan, am I going to include a photo of you hugging a concrete tree.
Oh, go on then!
