Templars: The Knights Who Made Britain by Steve Tibble invites you to dive into a fascinating reexamination of the powerful Knights Templar and their critical role in shaping modern Britain. This compelling narrative dispels the myths surrounding this legendary order, revealing their true legacy as dedicated peacekeepers rather than mere symbols of fanaticism.
In this enlightening read, Tibble uncovers the multifaceted influence of the Templars, whose contributions were pivotal in:
- Influencing Royal Strategy: Their advisory role in crafting policies was instrumental in ensuring stability during a tumultuous era.
- Financial Innovations: The Templars established revolutionary financial systems that boosted trade and resource distribution across the realm.
- Peace Brokerage: They negotiated crucial international treaties, facilitating the seamless exchange of resources and personnel to the East.
Tracing their rise from the reign of Henry I to their tragic end after the fall of Acre, Tibble artfully illustrates how this small yet formidable group was essential in the emergence of an early English state. The Templars' dedication and diplomacy, often overshadowed by myth, reveal their true mission of fostering stability and supporting the Christian cause.
With its well-researched insights and rich historical narrative, Templars: The Knights Who Made Britain stands as essential reading for history aficionados keen to explore the untold truths of this iconic order. Prepare to be captivated by a story that reshapes your understanding of Britain's medieval past.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
