Temple Healey (Healey)
Property and ? camera of Knights Templars, later of Knights Hospitallers, at Temple Healey. (1)
Temple Healey, or Healey as it is more commonly called, was probably given to the Knights Templars by one of the Lords of Baliol. An inquisition held in 1268, on the death of John de Baliol, states that it was held of him by the preceptor of Thornton. (a) [Temple Thornton, Northum]
At the suppression of the Order in 1308, Healey passed to the Knights Hospitallers who retained possession until the general suppression of religious houses. In 1533 certain lands lately belonging to the preceptory of Mount St John in Yorkshire were granted to Sir John Widdrington of Widdrington and Cuthbert Musgrave of Harbottle. 'The premises granted comprised with other estates, the two parts of Temple Helaye in the occupation of Sir Cuthbert Radcliffe, Knight and the remaining third part in the occupation of John Orde'. [There is no mention of the house in Knowles and Hadcock.]. (2)
No further information. The name Temple Healey is not locally known. (3)
