Welcome to the website of The Holy Royal Arch Knight Templar Priests or Order of Holy Wisdom.  This Order is governed by the Grand College of England and is a Christian Masonic Order.  Its headquarters are in the historic City of York, England.

To be considered for membership of this deeply significant Order, you MUST be a subscribing member of the following Masonic bodies:

1) a Craft Lodge

2) a Royal Arch Chapter

3) a Knights Templar Preceptory

You MUST also be a Past Master of a Craft Lodge AND profess the Trinitarian Christian Faith.

The Order, in its modern form, did not set out to be deliberately exclusive, but the 31 Appendant Degrees each have their own ceremonial working and it was determined, by our Founders, that a Mason needed to be of a certain standing and qualification within Freemasonry to comprehend and appreciate these especial degrees.

We trust you enjoy looking around our web-site and look forward to receiving any comments you may choose to make.  Thank you.
