The road from the Priory ran towards the village of Monk Bretton by way of the hamlet of Littleworth.

The development of Lundwood as it is seen today was the result of the building of the turnpike road from Barnsley to Cudworth Bridge[2] in 1825.

In 2009, the local Community Partnership opened Dress 4 Less as an established social enterprise to create funds to assist in community regeneration Littleworth Grange Primary Learning Centre is currently the only primary school in Lundwood.

It has won many awards in the world of sport including cross country and football.

The church at Lundwood, St. Mary Magdalene, featured on the 2005 Channel 4 documentary Priest Idol, which featured an American priest, Father James McCaskill, as he attempted to get the local population back into the rundown church.

It received a blow when a fire broke out in the church hall as workmen replaced roof felting.
