Temple Garth is a site of medieval preceptory and settlement remains located in Lincolnshire, England. The preceptory was established by the Knights Templar, a military-religious order that held considerable lands and properties throughout England during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Following the suppression of the Templars in the early fourteenth century, the site continued in use as a settlement, with archaeological and documentary evidence indicating occupation and activity extending into the later medieval period. The remains visible today comprise earthworks and structural elements that reflect both the institutional character of the preceptory and the subsequent domestic and agricultural use of the site.
