and (upstanding remains): Link

Premonstratensian house founded 1154. Only part standing above ground is the NW pier of the crossing with a short length of wall between the nave and the N transept. This has nice c13 detail. The remainder of the site is unencumbered, being rough pasture, and it is possible that the whole ground could be recovered. No record can be found of any excavation. Large area of earthworks and the NW pier and a short length of wall still standing; decoration on the wall is very similar to that in Southwell Minster chapter house. Other pieces of medieval masonry can be seen reused in the walls of the nearby cottage and its out-buildings.

A curious little church with a small Norman nave and Early English bellcote, then an odd chancel of 1876 in two parts, one higher than the other, giving this unusual appearance.

Hardy Gang Wood

There are two conflicting stories about the Hardy Gang. Either they were a group of 18th century vigilantes who captured and killed the 'wild man of Bardney' in this wood or a gang of outlaws whose hideout was here. Interestingly, the heraldic symbol of the Tyrwhitts of nearby Stainfield is a wild man !
