What is recorded here
According to Hodkinson (2009, 37) 'the 1292 charter of Edward I granted the Knights Templar the right to have a frankhouse in the city; however this may simply be the formalisation of an already existing situation. Their house lay in Bridge St., inside what are now the grounds of St. Mary's cathedral [LI005-017015-] just uphill of the present entrance. With the suppression of the order it passed to the Knights Hospitallers who held it to the dissolution, whereupon it passed to the Brownes of Kenmare' (Hodkinson 2003, 118-9).
