Lordship of the Manor of Barnsley & Associated Minerals Rights

** For sale by online auction (subject to sale prior, reserve and conditions) ** Description We are proud to present, for the very first time on the open market, the prestigious Lordship of the Manor of Barnsley. This historic title grants the holder the distinguished right to call themselves “Lord of Barnsley”, a unique title steeped in centuries of heritage. In addition to the title, the sale includes mineral rights across approximately 230 acres of land situated within one mile of Barnsley town centre. These rights cover areas including Honeywell, Oakwell, and Worsbrough Common. The current owner has successfully sold portions of these mineral rights in recent years, generating an income of approximately £150,000. This presents a compelling opportunity for the purchaser to explore further income generation from this valuable asset. History The Manor can be traced back to the Domesday Book as "Berneslye" and was given by William the Conqueror to Ilbert de Laci, who also founded the Honour of Pontefract. Eventually, upon the dissolution of the Monasteries, the Manors of Barnsley & Dodworth came to the Crown. William III granted the Manor to W. Bentnick, Earl of Portland, whose grandson (the 2nd Duke) sold it to Thomas Osborne, 4th Duke of Leeds, in 1735. Since that time, the Manor has passed as follows: Thomas Osborne, 4th Duke of Leeds (1713–1789) ↓ Francis Osborne, 5th Duke of Leeds (1751–1799) ↓ George Osborne, 6th Duke of Leeds (1775–1838) ↓ Sackville Walter Lane-Fox (1797–1874) ↓ Sackville George Lane-Fox (1827–1888) ↓ Marcia Amelia Lane-Fox (1863–1926) ↓ Charles Alfred Worsley Anderson-Pelham, 4th Earl of Yarborough (1859–1936) ↓ Sackville George Pelham (1888–1948) ↓ Lady Diana Miller (née Pelham) (1920–2013) ↓ Christopher David Harrison (born 1954–Present) Tenure The mines and minerals are to be sold freehold.
