Temple, Midlothian history
Pre-Reformation
Historically the Parish of Temple was divided into three portions, the ancient parish of Clerkington, and the chapelries of Moorfoot and Balantrodach. In 1128, Hugues de Payens, the first Grand Master of the Knights Templar, met with David I in Scotland and was granted the lands of Balantsrodach in Scotland. In 1312 and the Papal bull (edict) entitled Ad providam, King Edward II of England abolished the Templars in both England and Scotland.
Post-Reformation
Following the Reformation the present parish was formed from the three older divisions. In 1618 it took its name Temple from the preceptory chapel which had by then become the parish kirk. The current Church was funded by Thomas Creak whose family were leading figures in Temple in the 1820/30s and earlier.
