Welcome
The truth is, if you've clicked onto this website, you already know
something about Hoyland's most recognised landmark - Lowe Stand.
If not, then feel free to click on the History section of this site, and delve into the history and facts of the stand.
The Friends of Hoyland Lowe Stand are committed to promote further awareness of the landmark and raise funds, which hopefully
in turn, can be used to protect it's future and also start on a long journey of perhaps one day, restoring Hoyland's pride...
Our Aims.......
- To increase awareness of the landmark - locally & nationally.
- To protect the landmark from a sale that wouldn't benefit the Stand.
- To protect the landmark from decay and potential collapse.
- To work with Barnsley MBC to ensure the interests of the Stand always come first if any adjacent land to it is sold
etc.
- And Finally....To one day hopefully restore it...
Lowe Stand, Hoyland, Barnsley >>>>
Built around 1750 for the Marquis of Rockingham - for the probable use as a hunting lodge.

PLANNING DECISIONS NEARLY
COMPLETED!
Plans were submitted to Barnsley Council last
year, in order to facilitate the urgent repair of the Stand.
Trustees have been working closely with members of
the Council and their Conservation Officers to try and negotiate a way forward to protect what is left of the Stand, and ensure
current and future decay is minimised.
The plans have been accepted by English Heritage and also the Secretary
Of State, we are now just awaiting the final details from the Council, who know that the Trust are professional
and comitted enough to see the Emergency project through.
This is Stage 2 of what the Trust aimed to carry out
- read more about what our other Stages are within this site.....
