Newlass Cistercian monastic grange is a scheduled ancient monument located in Yorkshire that belonged to the extensive monastic economy of a Cistercian house. The site represents the physical infrastructure of medieval monastic agriculture, specifically a grange or outlying farm managed by the monks to generate produce and revenue for their mother house. Such granges were characteristic features of Cistercian landholding from the twelfth century onwards, operated by lay brothers or secular workers under monastic supervision. The proximity to New Leys Farm indicates the site's integration within the broader medieval and post-medieval landscape, where monastic agricultural operations frequently evolved into or underlay later farming settlements.
