Slí Charman, Wexford Coastal Path. Templetown. The Knights Templars were founded by the Crusaders in Jerusalem, early in the twelfth century. In 1172, King Henry II granted extensive lands to the Templars along the eastern shore of Waterford Harbour. They set up their headquarters here at Templetown, which is named after them, and at nearby Kilcloggan. The Templars were disbanded in 1307, and their lands were given to their great rivals the Knights Hospitallers who built the fortified church at Templetown and the castle at Kilcloggan.
