Next meeting of the Society will on 20th November at 10:00 am. Our speaker for the day will be Steve Tibble and for the first time we will have a speaker via Zoom. Steve has written many books on the Templars and has a difeeren approach to the previous speaker that we had on the subject. Steve looks at the Templar order in the global context rather than focussing on Duxford Chapel. As you will already know, Duxford has it's own Templar History as one of its manors was gifted to the Templars in the 12th Century leaving us with the legacy of Temple Close and Barns and Temple Farm.
