Overview

History & significance

The Site of Cistercian grange in Lincolnshire is a documented monastic agricultural establishment dating from the medieval period. Cistercian granges formed an essential part of the economic network maintained by Cistercian abbeys, serving as working farms that exploited the surrounding land and generated income for their parent monasteries. The grange would have comprised various agricultural buildings and associated structures arranged to facilitate the management of livestock and crops across the estate. As an archaeological site, it represents the material remains of this specialised form of monastic land management, which characterised Cistercian practice from the twelfth century onwards.
