    Dating back to 1313, it thrived as a Hospitaller establishment until its abolition in 1540. The Crown later claimed its lands, which eventually passed to the Widdrington family.

    Throughout its existence, Low Chibburn saw various uses, serving as a hospital and a dowager house. Unfortunately, in 1691, it fell victim to French invaders and was left in ruins. The Northumberland County Council stepped in to repair and restore the preceptory buildings, resulting in its recognition as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under legal protection.
