The Middle Templar Magazine

The Middle Templar is published annually and contains information about the Inn, its members and events, as well as topical articles contributed by members from all over the world. In 2021, with the environment in mind, we launched a new microsite version of the magazine for members to enjoy.

If you have any comments, feedback, or would like to contribute to the next edition of the Middle Templar magazine, please email middletemplar@middletemple.org.uk.
