Preceptory founded early in reign of Henry II as 1164, the church of Aslackby presented to the Templars by Hubert de Rye. After suppressed property passed to Temple Bruer. The round church still stood in the 18th century, and Temple Farm was built out of the ruins. The embattled square gatehouse tower at the south end described in 1861 as 'Machicolated parapet, terminating in battlements pierced with crossbowslits' was taken down as dangerous in 1891. The only remains are a few pieces of ornamental stonework built into the farmhouse. {4}{5}{6}{7}{8}{9}{10}{11}
