The Site of Preceptory of Knights Hospitallers is a medieval religious and military establishment located in Cambridgeshire, England. The Knights Hospitallers, formally the Order of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem, maintained this preceptory as part of their extensive network of commanderies across England during the medieval period. The preceptory functioned as both an administrative centre for the Order's properties and estates and as a base for the military-religious brotherhood, serving from at least the twelfth century through to the Reformation in the sixteenth century. Though now an archaeological site without standing structures, the preceptory's location and extent remain significant to understanding the Hospitallers' English holdings and their role in medieval Cambridgeshire society.
