Overview

History & significance

Whitley Thorpe moated Templar grange site is a medieval agricultural complex located approximately 600 metres northwest of Fulham House in Yorkshire. The site comprises a moated enclosure characteristic of twelfth and thirteenth century grange establishments associated with the Knights Templar, a military religious order that held extensive lands across England for the management of agricultural produce and livestock. The moat itself survives as a substantial earthwork feature defining the perimeter of the former grange precinct, protecting both administrative buildings and working structures typical of monastic or military order estates. The site represents important evidence of Templar landholding and estate management practices during the medieval period, before the order's suppression in the early fourteenth century.
