Newland Preceptory is a medieval monastic site located in Yorkshire, England, which served as a preceptory of the Knights Templar. The site dates from the twelfth century, when the Templars held substantial lands across northern England. Little substantial architecture survives above ground, though archaeological investigation and historical records confirm the site's significance as a Templar establishment. The preceptory would have functioned as an administrative and agricultural centre for the Order's operations in the region during the medieval period.
