By the time these lands were given to the Hospitallers I believe Saladin had kicked them out of the Holy Land and they were in Cyprus or Rhodes?
(I've seen the movie 'Kingdom of Heaven' ) |

would love to know what was on those shields, was it something generic to the Hospitallers or something unique to Chibburn?

Some nice photo's there Mike. I spent some time two or three years ago researching the medieval history of the preceptory and found out very little.
Regarding the shields, in most instances, in other structures i,ve looked at, they,ve bourne the coat of the lord of the manor. Perhaps one for Wyddryngton and the other the crest of the Knights Hospittallers ? |
