School built by 1893 mapping. This was formerly an area of surveyed enclosure that was part of the 1779 Barnsley enclosure award (date from English 1985). This land was enclosed from Warren common. Some where within this area was a medieval warren probably established by the monks of Pontefract and later used by Francis Wortley (Hunter 1931, 256). The school is built within the enclosure field pattern so legibility of the past landscape is partial. The school building has been reused by Barnsley Youth Development Association.
