Monastic Grange at Fenham is a medieval agricultural establishment associated with monastic land management in Northumberland. The site represents the physical infrastructure of monastic economy, specifically a grange or outlying farm operated by a religious house to work demesne lands and produce surplus for the monastery. Dating to the medieval period, such granges were integral to the economic system of religious communities, enabling them to exploit distant agricultural resources. The remains at Fenham preserve evidence of this important aspect of medieval monastic organisation and rural settlement.
