I revisited it around 1998 & was surprised how little it had changed.As I remember it there had been an "Artist in Residence" some time before our visit & wish I could say that her efforts had done something to enhance the place, but then i suppose I fall into the old fogey category.

The drawing is a period artists impression based on the site plan revealed by the last archaeological dig I believe. I didn't go inside Jan - I presumed it to be locked although somebody has suggested it was open. If so I shall return and photograph everything inside a sit's extremely interesting All the best Rod Hi Jan,

As I've been fortunate to have a DVD movie documentary released this Autumn involving all things Templar, I've included an entire section dedicated to Temple Bruer and its involvement in the 'Lincoln cathedral Da Vinci code' which has written about in two books under the pen mane of 'Dan Green'. I trust this exposure will establish Bruer where it belongs as a precious remains of the historical Knights Templar Incidentally, I hear the land is about to change hands, its previous owner Mr Broughton having sold up? Hi All!

Please do link to the page Val - it would be appreciated. I do hope you get somewhere withh the book and I can readily imagine what a struggle it would be. Drumming up interest in Lincolnshire is not easy but hopefully people like us can make a little difference. The site and photographs look great Val, I'll keep an eye on the site All the best Rod Hi Val

Just happened upon your blog when looking for some dates for Temple Bruer. It was one of my favourite places to walk but I havent been there for years. I keep a blog and have just put a couple of photos of scarecrows up that I took at Temple Bruer twenty years ago. I had written and illustrated a book about Scarecrows back then and all of my refereneces came from Lincs. I am just writing about the book on the blog. I am very interested in all things Lincs and was just home in May trying to get some interest to ressurrect an old book about Lincolnshire Country food that I illustrated,, its an uphill struggle..Things just seem to get forgotten in Lincs. However I am so delighted to see someone singing the praises of this wonderful county.

I completely agree that it is staggering that we don't take more pride in our local history, which incidently, is far more interesting than many realise. All the best Rod Hi Tina,
