• WA037-025 Religious house - Knights Templars
  Description

  Situated at the E end of a W-E ridge or spur overlooking the Blackwater River to the N, E and S. A preceptory of the Knights Templar is traditionally thought to have been founded by Raymond le Gros (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 330), but there are no contemporary references to its foundation or subsequent history. The remains consist of an ivy-clad undifferentiated structure (int. dims. 17.75m E-W; 8.1m N-S) of which only the E end of the long walls (Wth 1.1-1.3m; max. H 4m), with evidence of two large windows in each, survive. Abutting the church to the S is a raised platform (dims. 20m E-W; 17m N-S; H 0.4m). A barrel-vaulted building (int. dims. 12.6m N-S; 6.2m E-W int. H 3m) adjacent to the NE corner of the church has three double-splay lights in the E wall and two doorways in the W wall. A light in the N wall is partly blocked by the vault, which must be inserted, and only the W wall, with evidence of a chimney at the first floor, survives partially to first-floor level. Attached to the N wall is a later two-storey building (int. dims. 9.2m N-S; 4.1m E-W), with two windows in its E wall, and a window and doorway in the W wall. No decorative stonework is present anywhere, and there is no brick. The church and vaulted building are probably 13th century in date.
