Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The classic monastic grange was an isolated and consolidated demesne farm and the best known group are the Cistercian granges of Yorkshire. However, in Yorkshire some granges did specialise in fishing, salt manufacture or iron mining. Therefore perhaps the best definition is that of T.A.M. Bishop who saw the grange as a 'purely economic formation external to the administration and social life of the district'. 2 In studying the Leicestershire granges one is immediately faced by problems of definition. The isolated compact demesne farmed by lay brothers or hired labourers lies at one extreme from the demesne dispersed in the open fields and worked by a varying mixture of hired and customary labour. However, many estates lay in between these two types and many desmesnes were only consolidated slowly. One is also confronted by lack of information on the workings of most granges and the medieval usage of the term 'grange' may be loose. | ||
