Originally founded under the Cluniac order, Monk Bretton Priory is located in the village of Lundwood, in the borough of Barnsley, England. It was founded in 1154 as the Priory of St. Mary Magdelene of Lund by Adam Fitswane, sited on the Lund, from Old Norse "lundr", meaning a sacred woodland grove. In the course of time the Priory took the name of the nearby village of Bretton to be commonly known as Monk Bretton Priory.
