Abstract
Excavations undertaken in 2010 at Monk Bretton Priory, South Yorkshire represent the first substantive investigation of the monastery since its initial clearance in the 1920s and 1950s, and the only campaign of works to be fully recorded and published. Trenches were located to the west and north of the monastic church to reveal features thought to relate the occupation of the site by the Blithman and Talbot families in the mid to late sixteenth century. Evidence for the post-Dissolution remodelling of earlier medieval structures was encountered, as was a rich assemblage of finds belonging to all periods of occupation. Although relatively small in scale, the excavations provide an interesting insight into how the new owners sought to repurpose the religious house to secular use.
