The Templar’s ‘treasure’ was reinterned inside the ancient tomb, which can be seen today in the village church of Meysey Hampton.
Robert Ross was buried next to his brother in a small village churchyard in Gloucestershire.
Many people still visit Tewkesbury Abbey today to view the ancient monuments – and some have even attempted – in vain – to understand the meaning of the strange letters on the outside of the tomb of Sir Roger de la Pole, the Templar Knight.
