About

Monk Bretton ward is situated in the northern part of the Barnsley metropolitan area, primarily consisting of the Monk Bretton and Lundwood communities. The area is characterised by residential streets with a mix of housing types, alongside local shopping parades providing essential services. Green spaces are integrated throughout, with areas like the Monk Bretton Recreation Ground serving as focal points for the community.

The ward's history is closely tied to the nearby Monk Bretton Priory, a Cluniac monastery founded in the 12th century, the ruins of which are a scheduled monument. While the priory itself lies just outside the ward boundary, it gives the area its name and historical context. The local landscape includes the River Dearne, which flows past, and the ward contains several industrial estates that contribute to the local economy.
