Why this spot
10th to 15th century Wolds farming village
Deserted village on the chalk Wolds, busiest from the 10th to 12th centuries and later emptied when the land went over to sheep, with the Percy family exchanging the estate around 1400. It became Britain's best-known deserted village through about 40 summers of excavation led by Maurice Beresford from 1950.View source →
