Early in its history, the preceptory was the beneficiary of the largesse of a powerful patron, Roger Le Peytevin, lord of the manor of nearby Altofts.

[1] Later, the longtime lords of the manor were the Levett family, who also had ties to nearby Normanton as well as to the chivalric order.

[2] At the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries, King Henry VIII dissolved the Newland preceptory and confiscated the property.

Later, the Silvester family purchased the estate, and in 1740 built Newland Hall as its principal residence.

[5] In recent times part of the estate has been used for events such as concerts and field sports by the brand Hook and Gun.
