Eagle

Have to give it 2 stars as there is nothing to see of which I have written. Not good for a review? Well I once spent days searching for a lost village but couldn’t find it.
If you are interested in the Knight Templar then it is not worth a visit.
I was told Eagle Hall (in private hands) has indications of moats in the garden and some remains in the cellar but I think you need to be on an historical tour where the Hall is included. Tunman Wood (to the lower right of map) is an ancient wood that the Templars are said to have riden through from Temple Bruer to eagle. Reminds me of the poem The Way Through The Woods. will go one day.
The church has an ancient tower but the rest is pretty modern by history standards.
History:
THE PRECEPTORY OF EAGLE 9 miles SW. of Lincoln
The preceptory of Eagle is said to have been founded by King Stephen, who presented the manor on which it was built to the Templars.
This house also passed to the Hospitallers in 1312; a preceptor and a chaplain were living here in 1338. About twenty years later the administration of Eagle, Temple Bruer, and Beverley (Yorks.), were committed to one knight, John of Anlaby, by the general chapter of the order; but he was afterwards despoiled of this office by the prior of the hospital, whereupon he appealed to the pope. The causes of the difficulty are not stated in the petition made in 1359.
It seems to have been a common thing as time went on to put one commander or preceptor in charge of. two or three houses of the order; in 1415 Willoughton and Eagle are thus coupled together. Shortly before the dissolution the title, ‘Bailiff of the Eagle,’ seems to have been little more than a title of honour, not implying residence at the commandery, which was left in charge of a steward, or farmer.
