St John's Jerusalem is a preceptory of the Knights Hospitallers located at Sutton-at-Hone in Kent, England. The site comprises the remains of a medieval religious establishment founded in the twelfth century to support the military religious order's operations, with an associated fishpond that survives as an earthwork feature. The preceptory would have functioned as an administrative and agricultural centre for the Order's English holdings, typical of Hospitaller infrastructure that combined devotional and economic purposes. The surviving elements, including the fishpond, represent the material legacy of medieval monastic land management and the widespread network of Hospitaller properties across England before the Order's suppression during the Reformation.
