So the Masons weren't founded by surviving Templars who held the secret of the holy grail?
Well I'll be darned.

No. That is a theory that very few Masonic historians believe to be true. It makes a fun story in a book or two but isn't likely.
The most common theory is that the Masonic lodge came from the craft guilds in England and then, over time, developed into a society that included both working Masons and those interested in craft itself.
