Horkstow Camera was a monastic cell in Lincolnshire, England, dependent on Willoughton Preceptory, a house of the Knights Templar.
Lincolnshire preceptories
Until their disbandment in 1312, the Knights Templar were major landowners on the higher lands of Lincolnshire, where they had a number of preceptories on property which provided income, while Temple Bruer was an estate on the Lincoln Heath, believed to have been used also for military training. [1] The preceptories from which the Lincolnshire properties were managed were: [2]
