In this video, we explore:
⛪ The Church of St Mary the Virgin, built in the Templar era, with its rare medieval wall paintings.
✝️ The mysterious stone crosses carved into the church tower walls—were they consecration marks, or symbols left by the Templars?
🎨 The fading medieval artwork above the altar, scarred yet preserved through centuries of worship and reformation.
🏰 The Manor of Radnage, granted to the Templars by King John in 1214, later held by the Knights Hospitallers, and surviving today as Radnage Bottom Farm.
