Monastic grange, 180m south of Manor Farm, is a medieval agricultural establishment belonging to a monastic community, located in Yorkshire. The site represents the characteristic pattern of monastic land management in the medieval period, whereby religious houses established granges as outlying farms to manage distant estates and generate revenue through agricultural production. The physical remains survive as an archaeological monument, preserving evidence of the building complexes and associated structures that would have housed storage facilities, working areas, and accommodation for lay workers or monks engaged in farming operations. Such granges were particularly common in northern England from the twelfth century onwards, forming an integral part of the economic infrastructure of the great monastic houses.
