Masonic Index of Manuscripts, Essays and Papers. What did the Knights Templar Do. The Knights Templar were created by the pope to escort and protect "tourists" going to the Holy Land, and to fight Muslims there. There were originally only a handful, but there were thousands by the time they were disbanded in the 1300's. They were the first bankers. A person could deposit money at one Templar institution, receive a voucher, and turn it in at any other Templar institution.
Though charging interest was illiegal at the time, the Templars were permitted to get away with charging a "fee" for the transaction. Some say they were also looking for relics like the holy grail in the holy land, but there is no specific evidence of this. They were given huge amounts of money by royalty in Europe, partly because they were considered to be doing God's work, and many royal sons became Templar knights. They also made huge loans to kings across Europe. Eventually they became so wealthy, and so many royals owed them so much money, that they became a target. Masonic Dictionary | Masonic Prayer.

Manchester Association for Masonic Research « Provincial Grand Lodge of West Lancashire. In 2009 The Manchester Association for Masonic Research celebrated its centenary. The association was born in 1909 from a desire to share knowledge and gain a better understanding of Freemasonry and it was formed to serve Lancashire, East and West, and Cheshire.
The founders were drawn from each of the three Provinces and amongst them were the Earl of Derby and the Dean of Manchester. Others included Manchester’s Chief Librarian, Henry Sutton and the Boltonian Grand Treasurer of the United Grand Lodge of England Major John Booth along with Roderick Baxter and Fred Broadbent, both trenchant northern commentators and historians. These solid foundations have led to a century of published MAMR Transactions and each volume contains at least four talks and there are many gems amongst the collection. Visit our website: www.mamr.co.uk Meetings are usually held at Freemasons Hall, Bridge Street, Manchester, M3 3BT. Officers of the Association for 2013/4 The subscription rates are extremely modest. The Manchester Masonic Research Collection. The Manchester Masonic Research Collection Some years ago the Library Collection of the Province of East Lancashire and of the Manchester Association of Masonic Research were combined and housed in the Library Room at Freemasons’ Hall in Manchester.
However, this room was continually in use for Masonic Meetings, rehearsals, and for other meetings, so that access to the collection was very difficult to arrange. In order to facilitate access to members of the Craft and the general public, it was decided to offer the collection to the John Rylands University Library. It was accepted with enthusiasm and the University Library undertook to fully catalogue this collection, funded by the Manchester Association of Masonic Research.
In the interim the John Rylands Library has undergone refurbishment with the construction of a new Entrance Wing with the reception area, shop and café, with lift access to all floors. The Building is located on Deansgate, in close proximity to Freemasons’ Hall. Masonic Districts. Masonic Index of Manuscripts, Essays and Papers. Masonic Libraries. Masonic Lodges. Masonic Lodges.
