ABSTRACT
On their northern English estates the Templars held land in what had once been the Danelaw. In the counties of Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, where a large number of Templar properties lay, this is reflected in place-names, the personal names of the Templars' tenants and the landholding patterns. The Templars also encountered a wide range of different landscapes in the north, from remote moorland heights to the low-lying Lincolnshire fenland.
