Meeting Point / Venue
Temple Bruer is between Wellingore (A607) and the A15. Park to the side of the church.
Temple Bruer has 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. It was founded in the period 1150 to 1160 and the order was dissolved in 1312.- Location:
