Chibburn Preceptory, Medieval priory ruins in Druridge Bay, Northumberland, England.
The remaining structures of Chibburn Preceptory include sections of east, south, and north walls of the chapel forming a small courtyard layout.
First documented in 1313, this Knights Hospitaller establishment operated until 1540 when Henry VIII's dissolution of monasteries transferred its lands to the Crown.
The preceptory served as a hospital and refuge point for religious pilgrims traveling along the route to the holy island of Lindisfarne.
Access to the ruins requires parking along Druridge Pools beach road at coordinates 55.263004, following clear pathways to reach the site.
During World War II, the medieval chapel structure was converted into a military pillbox, integrating ancient architecture with modern defense needs.
