Summary[edit]

Description
English:
This is a photo of listed building number 1188927.

Meynell Hall, Formerly Broctune Abbey. Meynell Hall is a Grade 1 listed building and has been known by that name since 1547. Prior to the dissolution of the monasteries Broctune Abbey was one of about five daughter abbeys of Rievaulx and played an essential role in its survival. Rievaulx would have had a population of maybe a thousand monks, lay brothers and builders. Grain and wool would have been produced at numerous grange farms and gathered centrally at one of the daughter abbeys like Broctune. Horses, much valued by the jousting and hunting Normans would also have been bred here. Broctune also played a unique role. As the Cistercian monks were vegetarian, sea fish was a highly valued source of protein and Broctune was a preserving centre for fish and shellfish caught at Redcar and on the Tees Estuary. Preservation using the salt also available locally.
