		Though many of the names are inspired by the quiet dignity that "Abbey" might conjure up, many of the names are rather tongue-in-cheek and probably wouldn't impress the Spanish Inquisition should they choose to drop in when no-one expects them.
		Surprisingly, the idea of the stained glass A came before considering Beauchief as the (obvious, Duh!) candidate for the illustration but about three seconds later the connection was made.
		Though it is based on the logo which is in turn based on the Abbey at Beauchief, the ruin of the beer labels has no direct relationship with the real Abbey.

		Beauchief Golf Course is a meadowland course situated in the south west of Sheffield.
		Whilst not considered to be a difficult course, because of its length, many players do find it hard to play to their handicap at Beauchief Golf Club because some of the par 3's are demanding, several par 4's are testing and, for men, there is only one par 5.
		The key at Beauchief Golf Course is to be accurate with approach shots and, whilst there aren't many bunkers, they are well positioned.

	Yorkshire - Little John Hathersage Sherwood Nottingham Robin Hood Loxley Peak District pictures history
		By way of illustration in 1173 AD Robert Fitz Ranulf who was a Sheriff of Nottingham built Beauchief Abbey with its splendid Deer Park.
		The Abbey was given over to the White Canons of Welbeck Abbey in Nottinghamshire and later the Abbey Lands including Strawberry Lee came into the possession of Sir Nicholas Strelley whose family were from Nottingham and were the verderer's for Sherwood and Peak Forest.
		The consequence was that near Loxley, on land that belonged to the Sheriff of Nottingham, was the "Royal Forest of the Peak" along with the magnificent Deer Park of Beauchief Abbey and it is easy to imagine the wrath of the monks and the sheriff who would be united against Robin Hood's poaching/hunting activities.

	Life & Death in Elizabethan Norton: Occupation, Status and Standard of Living
		By far the largest landowners in Norton at the beginning of the sixteenth century were the monks of Beauchief Abbey: most of the parish was under their control.
		This meant that after the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the late 1530s, the Crown had large estates to dispose of in Norton, and as a result of this process a substantial number of families who had acquired the status of gentlemen were to be found in the area.
		Beauchief itself was home to the Strelley family, three of whom appear in the registers with the description of gentleman between 1590 and 1610.

		The Abbey has been well looked after by the City, and is still in weekly use for services, but some of the surrounding buildings have not fared so well.
		About 100 yards south of the Abbey is a group of stone barns which have had little maintenance and are used to store golf course equipment.
		This seemed wrong and regrettable to a number of people and organisations connected with the area, and in October 2003 the Beauchief Abbey Barns Association BABA was set up to look for an alternative future for the barns.

		Rhodes observes "a wreath of ivy which falls from the top of the tower, and nearly invests one side of it, breaks the dull monotony of its outline, and produces a tolerably good effect: in other respects it is not strikingly attractive as a picturesque object.
		The Abbey of _Bello-Capite_ will ever be dear to the antiquary who will visit it with veneration and delight; nor will the artist pass it by unnoticed.
		The magnificent woods, and the beautiful hills that environ the Abbey of Beauchief, amply compensate for any deficiency of grandeur in the subordinate adornments of so rich a scene." Beauchief Abbey, though once a considerable structure, was never proportionally wealthy.
