About this property
Cressing Temple was granted to the Knights Templar - the mysterious warrior monks - by Queen Matilda in 1137. Cressing was the Knights' first grant of rural land in England and they farmed its 200 acres until 1312, when their lands passed to the Knights Hospitaller. Visit the Templars Tearoom and well- stocked gift shop free of charge.
