Skiplam Grange is a monastic grange located in Yorkshire, England, which functioned as an agricultural estate managed by a religious community during the medieval period. The site represents the physical infrastructure of monastic land management, a system whereby religious houses such as Cistercian abbeys controlled outlying properties worked by lay brothers or hired labour to generate income and provisions. The grange would have comprised working buildings including storage facilities, byres, and accommodation, though the surviving remains reflect the varied preservation of such establishments across the region. Its designation as a heritage monument reflects the archaeological and historical importance of monastic granges in understanding the economic organisation and landscape impact of the medieval Church in northern England.
