BRIGHOUSE KIRKLEES PARK
SE 12 SE
4/124 Walls which enclose former
Orchard for Kirklees Priory
80 m. East of Priory
Gatehouse
G.V. II
Long drystone walls. Early C16 with some later repairs. Hammer-dressed stone
walls capped by offset weathered course and Gothic ridge triangular in section
with roll moulding to apex. Quoined angles. The west wall has a gateway
through with composite jambs with stop chamfer. The south wall runs alongside
the Nun's Brook and is slightly higher than the east wall. All these retain
their original Gothic coping, only the north wall (which still stands) lacks
it.
It is likely that this is the wall referred to in the Post-Reformation Survey
taken by the King's Commissioners first described by John Burton in Monastacum
Eboracense (1758), also quoted by S. J. Chadwick, which reads
'Kirkleys, Scitus domorum'
...........
'Item one orchard enclosed wt. ane olde stone walle
wt. few frute trees, conteyneth by estymacon iij roodes
of grounde.'
S. J. Chadwick, Kirklees Nunnery (no date) p. 32. Copy held in library of
Yorkshire Archaeological Society. The relationship of the boundary wall with
the priory remains is illustrated by the plan of the 1904-5 excavations in
Sir G. Armytage, Excavations at Kirklees Priory, Proc. S.A.L. 2S xxi, 1975
(May 3, 1906).
