This Preceptory was, on the suppression of the Templar-s in England, granted to Sir John d'arcy, in whose family it remained until 1544, when it reverted to the Crown through the attainder of Thomas Lord d'arcy, who was beheaded by Henry VIII. On account of the insurrection called the Pilgrimage of Grace. His guilt, however, is doubtful, but suspicion was quite enough in those days. It was gifted to Mathew Earl of Lennox, and descended to his grandson James VI., who presented it to his kinsman the Duke of Lennox. His Grace sold it to the son of a wealthy London trader of the name of Ingram, whose grandson was created Viscount Irvine in Scotland, 23d May 1661. This title is now extinct, but the re presentation in the female line of the Ingrams is in the Marquesses of Hartford, who hold the estate. Rekelay may indicate either Temple Rockley in Wiltshire, or Temple Rothely in Leicestershire - probabl y the former, which is described by Britton in his Beauties of Wiltshire, as a small Preceptory of the Knights Templar, founded inzthe reign of Henry the Second.
