Saint David, or in Wales, Dewi Sant (c. 500–589), in contrast with the other national patron saints of the British Isles and Ireland, is a native of the country of which he is the Patron Saint.
Sixteen Knights petitioned to form a Preceptory , the Warrant for which is dated 1st November 1974 and consecrated on 23rd January 1975 at Farfield Hall, Connah’s Quay, in the county of what was then Clwyd.
The ceremony was performed by the Provincial Prior, Dr Horace Ingham, assisted by the Provincial Sub Prior,
Very Eminent Knight Major Frank Osmond.
E.Kt The Reverend Kenneth Charles White, Provincial Chancellor, had the honour of being the first Eminent Preceptor; he was later to become Provincial Prior.
At the meeting in July 1991, a new Preceptory Banner was presented by E.Kt. Kenneth Gidman, and in May 1999,
E.Kt. Derek Hobbs presented a refurbished Breast Plate and Shield, embellished with the Cross of Lorraine,
the Welsh Dragon and the Arms of the Province of Cheshire.
Since the consecration, over seventy six knights have been installed as Knights of the Order and a further six have become joining members.
The Preceptory is now well established and held its 25th Anniversary during 2000, and is looking forward to the 50th Anniversary in 2025.
