| Abstract: | NY 974837. The village was deliberately depopulated c 1720, for reasons which are not clear. Rather more than half the village has now been excavated, and this paper includes a report on all the excavation so far undertaken, as well as on the documentary evidence for West Whelpington as a living village and as an almost empty township. The evidence indicates that the village was certainly flourishing by the 12th century; it may have been settled several centuries earlier. During the period of the Scottish Wars (c 1300-1550) the wealth (and possibly the size) of the village declined. West Whelpington produces particularly useful evidence for peasant life in the 17th century. Au | ||
