Preceptory of Quenington,
Quenington, Gloucestershire.
We don't know whether this Church had a graveyard.
The manor of Quenington was given to the Hospitallers by Agnes de Lucy and her daughter Sibilla. The community consisted of the preceptor, two other knights, a chaplain, three clerks, and several servants. The possessions of the preceptory included the manors of Quenington, Wishanger, Baunton, Calmsden and Hampenne in Gloucestershire; of Bradwell, Gosford, Sutton, and Clanfield in Oxfordshire; and the rectories of Temple Guiting, Lower Guiting, Southrop, Down Ampney, Siddington, Bradwell, and Kelmscott.
The preceptory was surrendered as part of the possessions of the hospital of St John at Clerkenwell in 1540, and today only the Gatehouse, and possibly a Dovecot survive. The Preceptory itself was demolished in the 17th century, and what is now Quenington Court was built on its site.
It is adjacent to St Swithin's Church.
