Yeaveley Preceptory, Medieval religious ruins in Yeaveley, England
The stone remains of the preceptory include parts of a chapel built in the early 13th century, surrounded by a moat fed by a stream.
Founded in 1190, the Knights Hospitaller established this preceptory following Ralph Foun's gift of the Benedictine Hermitage with its surrounding lands and resources.
The preceptory functioned as both a religious house and a support center where Knights Hospitaller provided care for pilgrims and travelers crossing the region.
The archaeological site features a square platform measuring 80 meters on each side, enclosed by a moat that extends 12 meters in width and 2 meters in depth.
The preceptory maintained fishponds for food supply and operated a dovecote that generated income through the medieval period until its dissolution in 1543.
