The remains of preceptory church at Temple Bruer is a fragmentary survival of a religious building belonging to the Knights Templar, dating to the medieval period. The site preserves substantial masonry remains including parts of the church fabric, reflecting the architectural character typical of Templar establishments in England. Temple Bruer was an important Templar preceptory in Lincolnshire, and the surviving stonework testifies to the former significance of this military-religious community before the Order's suppression in the early fourteenth century. The remains constitute an important archaeological record of Templar ecclesiastical architecture and monastic organisation in the East Midlands.
