Brother Knights I am Knight James Harper-Steele, the Provincial Warden of Regalia. I would like to share with you some thoughts regarding my role as your Warden of Regalia.Which includes offering advice to my fellow Knights, as well as helping new members to our order on the correct regalia to be worn and assist them in obtaining this if required.

Also to advise and assist Knights when becoming the Eminent Preceptor of their Preceptory or receiving Provincial appointments or promotions, or indeed Great Priory Ranks. In other words whenever your Regalia needs to be changed or updated.

My other role Brother Knights is to also encourage you to let me have any pre- owned regalia that you no longer need, so that this can be recycled to other Knights at a reduced cost, with all monies raised going to the Benevolent fund for the St John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital and the province. I am happy to accept regalia for Knight Templar, Malta, KTP and St Thomas of Acon .The Statue book in sections 165 to 194 outlines the full details of all the correct regalia which is to be worn by Knights of the Order.

I hope that I will be able to give you guidance on these, as of course they are not just guidelines they are compulsory.Brother Knights I would also advise you to ensure that, if you purchase items on the internet from, say, eBay or from other sources, that the items are in compliance with the current Great Priory Statutes for regalia of the Order.
