TEMPLE ELFORD -
There were 192 Acres of Land here - gifted to the Templars after the Templar inquest of 1185 as there were no records of it then. There must have been a chapel attached to the house, since in 1308 there was a mention of a missal a grail chalice and vestment, implying there were brothers there, and a chaplain.
The manor of Temple Elfold (or Elfande) was recorded as belonging to the Knights Templar in 1263. The name "Temple Elfold" persists today in the name of an old house, which dates from the mid-16th century, though there was no preceptory (a major monastic-military establishment) attached to this manor in Capel itself.
Addington Temple
The Manor of Addington Temple was given to the order in 1241, by Walter de Merton. in 1249 it appears that the then Master of the Temple, Robert de Saunford received a gift of further land in Addington, It is eveident that the Templars did not farm this land itself, as the last master Brother William de la More leased the land to a John Blebury for 20s perr annum
