Kt John Jenkins had a tragically short association with the Order of the Knights Templar, as he was called to higher service by our Great Captain at the age of 51 years only a few weeks after being installed a Knight in Wudcestre Preceptory No 537 in June 2013.

He had been initiated into Freemasonry in January 2012 in Bothal Lodge No 4116 and later exalted in the Royal Arch in Ashington Chapter No 2868 in September 2012.
