Overview

History & significance

The remains of preceptory church at Temple Bruer is a fragmentary ecclesiastical structure dating to the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The site represents the physical heritage of a Templar preceptory, one of several properties held by the Knights Templar in Lincolnshire during the medieval period. What survives today consists chiefly of stone foundations and ground-level remains, including elements of the church structure itself, which once served the spiritual and administrative needs of the preceptory community. The site's significance lies in its illustration of Templar settlement patterns in England and the material evidence of their monastic and military order's presence in the region before the order's suppression in the early fourteenth century.
