A preceptory of the Knights of St John of Jerusalem was founded here in 1189. It coincided with the advent of the common law and the reign of King Richard the Lionheart who was well-known in Herefordshire. The Knights were Hospitallers in the vanguard of the Crusades, whose order also helped fund the wars. The manor stands on the original Norman site of the preceptory. The chapel was built in the 14th century during the Hundred Years War. It was originally longer, but now still has a recessed spire in the west tower. The main buildings in the parish are Dinmore Manor and Upper Dinmore and Kipperknowle Farms, home of a herd of pedigree Limousin cattle.
