Aslackby Preceptory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (547 words) |
 | The word 'preceptory' is used for the community of the Knights Templar which lived on one of the order's estates in the charge of its preceptor. |
| Until the dissolution of the Hospitallers' order in England in 1540-41, the Aslackby estate was supervised from Temple Bruer so the buildings lost their higher status use from the early fourteenth century, unlike most English monastic buildings which were in use until the sixteenth. |
| Until their disbandment, the Knights Templar were major landowners on the higher lands of Lincolnshire where they had a number of preceptories on property which provided income while Temple Bruer was an estate on the Lincoln Heath, believed to have been used also for military training. |

| In this case the Master and Brethren of the Temple are known to have purchased the Manor for £100 in 1249ce from William, son of Miles. |
| This was built after the preceptory passed to the Hospitallers in 1312 but it is well known that this order absorbed many Templars at their dissolution. |
| The farmhouse is built on the site of the preceptory (a sort of manor adjacent to the church where the Templars lived and worked) and part of the foundations were still visible in 1844, but these were removed to build the farmhouse. |
