The team hope to find the home of the Knights Templar, a major power in the 12th and 13th-centuries who protected pilgrims on their way to the Holy Land. Templecombe in Somerset is the site of a priory, home to an order of fighting monks, that dates back to the 12th-century. The exact location of the original building has been confused by later construction. The Time Team set themselves the task of untangling the ruins and coming to grips with the history of the location.
