The Preceptory was consecrated on 30th October, 1963

The banner central shield has four quarters, The KT cross, the Malta cross, the Hertfordshire Hart and a castle, which is the coat of arms of the town of Berkhampstead. The latter is surrounded by eleven golden orbs which indicates that the town was once part of the Duchy of Cornwall.  The name of Berkhampstead is also on the surround.

The date of 1963 is also depicted as A.O.845. The Knights Templar start their calendar with the formation of the order in 1118 AD. Anno Ordinis (A.O.), which means "In the year of the Order" is the terminology used. This deducts 1,118 from the present year; therefore the year 1963 becomes A.O.845.
