The workshop last Saturday at Blaydes House in Hull went extremely well. First point: Blaydes house is a beautiful old merchant\u2019s house, with beautiful high-ceiling\u2019d rooms, perfect for a workshop of this sort. Every University should have a resource like this one. \u00a0Next point: we had some excellent papers. The first paper was on Templar preceptories in Lincolnshire and asked: What are the characteristics of a preceptory? How did they differ from other properties? Then there was a paper on the recent excavations at the Templars\u2019 former commandery\/preceptory at Faxfleet in Yorkshire, and\u00a0a paper on the Templars\u2019 properties in Scotland and what became of them after the Templars were dissolved \u2014 with a great map, locating all the properties! After lunch, there was a paper \u2018clearing the ground\u2019 for new research into the Templars and Hospitallers in the north of England, a progress report on research into Templars and Hospitallers in Ireland and their relations with kings and popes, and my own paper on Templars in the south-west margins of Templar property in England and Wales. I was arguing that although the Templars\u2019 lands made a profit in the period 1307-13, when the additional costs of corrodies and pensions are taken into account they may not have been so profitable in the long term.<\/p>\n
John Walker and I are now considering a follow-up meeting, to include those who couldn\u2019t get to this workshop, and for further progress reports from those who came this time. We are also thinking about publishing the papers in some form, perhaps online.<\/p>\n
