What is the Templar's cross and how is it linked to Wetherby?
The red cross that the Templar's wore on their robes was a symbol of martyrdom, and to die in action was considered a great honour that guaranteed a place in heaven. In stories about the Knights of the Round Table written in the 1300, the most perfect holy knight - Sir Galahad - wore a white shield with a red cross, which was then made the symbol of the Knights Templar. In 1240 the Knights Templar were granted by Henry III to have the right of a market in Wetherby (then known then as Weerby).
