Ebook The Knights Templars

The greatest zeal and energy have been displayed by them in that praiseworthy undertaking, and no expense has been spared to repair the ravages of time, and to bring back the structure to what it was in the time of the Templars. In the summer I had the pleasure of accompanying one of the chief and most enthusiastic promoters of the restoration of the church (mr. Burge, q.c.) over the interesting fabric, and at his suggestion the present work was commenced. I am afraid that it will hardly answer his expectations, and am sorry that the interesting task has not been undertaken by an abler hand.
