Newland Preceptory is a medieval religious house located in Yorkshire, founded as a commandery of the Knights Templar during the twelfth century. The preceptory served as an administrative and military centre for the Order until the suppression of the Templars in the early fourteenth century, after which it passed to the Knights Hospitaller. Substantial remains of the preceptory buildings survive, including stone foundations and structural elements that attest to its former importance as a monastic settlement. The site represents a significant example of the physical infrastructure maintained by the military religious orders in northern England during the medieval period.
