St John's Jerusalem is a preceptory of the Knights Hospitallers located at Sutton-at-Hone in Kent. The site comprises the remains of a medieval religious and military establishment, with documented evidence of occupation from the twelfth century onwards, when the Order of St John of Jerusalem maintained properties across England to support their operations. An associated fishpond survives as an earthwork feature within the monument complex, reflecting the practical organisation of such preceptories, which typically combined defensive, residential, and agricultural functions. The site represents an important example of Hospitaller settlement in southeastern England and contributes to understanding the medieval religious and military landscape of the region.
