Monk Breton Priory. Founded in about 1154 by a local landowner, Adam Fitzswaine, it was a daughter house of the rich Cluniac priory at Pontefract. In 1281, Monk Bretton seceded from the Cluniac Order and became a Benedictine house. Monk Bretton was closed in 1538. #monkbrettonpriory #monkbretton #barnsley #monastery #englishheritage #abbey #abbeyruins #englishheritagesites #medievalruins #visitengland #blogger #femaleblogger #outandaboutwithliz #canonphotography #canon5dmarkiv #southyorkshire https://www.instagram.com/p/CDpJCxxFz2S/?igshid=1gj662t2htj1e
