Moral rights asserted   ?Si Barber/07739 472 922 Fans of Dan Brown's Da Vinci code could be in with a chance to own a unique piece of history as one of the last standing Knight's Templar buildings comes up for sale in Lincolnshire, UK. The Knights Templar, ?a mysterious band of warrior monks ?became hugely wealthy guaranteeing the safety of pilgrims visiting Jurasalem during the Crusades in exchange for money which they ploughed into farms around the country. Despite being disbanded in the 14th Century, their influence is still felt today as they invented the banking system and pioneers the use of the cheque as a bill of exchange. The Temple Bruer Preceptory, ten miles north of Lincoln which dates back to the 12th century was originally built as a church attached to a farm for the mysterious religious order to pray in , but after falling out with King Edward II in 1308 the building was abandoned. Instead of falling into disrepair however, the building was maintained over the centuries by masons anxious to preserve the property as a sacred site. These masons also left mysterious markings on the stonework as testament ?to their efforts. It's now up for sale at an asking price of ?575000 which also includes an adjacent house and farm buildings. But prospective buyers should beware that they will be sharing ?two room property with it's original tenant John Wolf who was commander of Temple Bruer in 1221 and whose likeness can still be seen in his tomb which occupies the ground floor.
