  • Monk Bretton Priory

    Monk Bretton Priory

    MONK BRETTON PRIORY Monk Bretton Priory, circa 1154 (12th century) was built by Adam Fitz Swain. It was built as a daughter house of St Johns Priory for Cluniac Monks, founded by IIbert de Laci close to his base at Pontefract Castle. Cluniacs at Monk Bretton Priory controlled agriculture and natural resources on many sites between Wakefield and Rotherham. After the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII, it became the home of the Armyne and Talbot families, descendants of the Earl of Shrewsbury. Monk Bretton Priory is currently owned by Barnsley MBC under the custody of English Heritage. School Visits The site is currently a free site open every date from 10.30 am to 3.00 pm. An earlier opening time may be possible by contacting the Friends of Monk Bretton Priory – details below. Monk Bretton Priory has a well preserved Gatehouse and Administrative building. The remaining site has low walls which easily identify other areas eg the 12th century Church, the 13th century Cloister, the late 13th century kitchen with the best remains of Cluniac drainage in Europe. Information Very clearly written information boards can be found throughout the site. Parking Immediately in front of the Gatehouse with space for several cars and coaches. Toilets There are no toilet facilities on site but a special arrangement has been made for school parties to use toilets just across the road at Priory Campus (open week days 8.00 am to 5.30 pm). These toilets are open to the public and students entering Priory Campus must be supervised at all times.

    VIKING COASTAL TRAIL – USE and ECONOMIC IMPACT a Report by the Area Manager to the Thanet Joint Transportation Board on 23 March 2004

    VIKING COASTAL TRAIL – USE AND ECONOMIC IMPACT A report by the Area Manager to the Thanet Joint Transportation Board on 23 March 2004 Introduction 1 Olympic athlete Kelly Holmes MBE opened the Viking Coastal Trail, a 28-mile multi-purpose cycle route around Thanet, on Sunday 10 June 2001. Total investment so far in design, construction and marketing is about £500,000 divided roughly equally between the County and District Councils 2 The Viking Coastal Trail is listed on the County Council’s website as Kent’s “No. 1 cycle route”; it features regularly in national newspapers and the cycling press. The Viking Coastal Trail is listed on the County Council’s website as Kent’s ‘No. 1 Cycle Route’; it features regularly in national newspapers and the cycling press. The Trail website ( www.vikingcoastaltrail.co.uk ) received more than 10,000 ‘hits’ in 2003 and it is clear from observation and from anecdotal evidence that there are many more cyclists in Thanet than there were before 2001. Two separate studies have been carried out, as follows: • Babtie – use of the Trail, with data from automatic bicycle counters at Ramsgate and Westgate • Canterbury Christ Church University College – economic impact, with data from interviews with cyclists using the Trail and a survey of businesses along it. 3 The main findings from these studies are discussed in more detail in the following paragraphs. Use of the Trail 4 Automatic bicycle counters – electro-magnetic devices that continuously count bicycles passing over them – were installed at Ramsgate and Westgate in June 2001. There are limitations on where the equipment can be placed, and the two locations are not necessarily the busiest on the Viking Coastal Trail, but the counters have been counting for 24 hours a day 365 days a year and a great deal of data is now available.
