Now some of you will know that both my housekeepers were admitted to The Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem (The Order of St. John) many years back. The Misses is a Serving Sister in The Order and the Guv a Commander of The Order. (For my French friends " L'ordre très vénérable de l'Hopital de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem).
Well I know my history, and the Knights Hospitaller fought long and hard alongside the Knight Templar in The Holy Land. When a knight had achieved a number of "caravans" (no not human kennels on wheels like the Guv has), a name given to a trip / crusade to the Holy Land, he was often given charge of a Commandery. This church is the only part of Commandery of Malleyrand that is left.....
