The Consecration of the Wolds Banner on 9th December 2006
The Origin of the Wolds Banner
The Wolds Preceptory meets in Louth on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds. The members decided that the Banner should refelect this. The hills represent the farming times of the year with the outline of St James Church in the background. It was paid for by donations from the Knights of the Wolds Preceptory.
