Beauchief Abbey is a medieval monastic house now serving as a parish church in the southern suburbs of Sheffield, England.

Tanner stated that Robert FitzRanulf was one of the murderers of Thomas Becket and founded the abbey to expiate his guilt.

It had the full range of monastic buildings including the abbey church, cloisters, chapter house, dormitory and refectory.

Farming on the Beauchief estate and on outlying manors was important, and the monastery also controlled iron smelting, mineral extraction, woodland industries and mills on the River Sheaf from which Sheffield takes its name.

This is an arc-shaped area of mature deciduous woodland on a steep bank facing the River Sheaf to the west.

[9] This is also now mostly mature sessile oak, and has public footpaths granting access, including the Sheffield Round Walk.

The parkland, though it has had its topography altered for the golf courses, still includes evidence of mediaeval ridge and furrow farming.
