Abstract:
In 2002, English Heritage undertook an archaeological investigation and analytical field survey of Wharram Percy in North Yorkshire, unquestionably the best known deserted medieval village in the country because the programme of survey, excavation and historical research undertaken over the course of forty years between 1950 and 1990. The investigation demonstrated that many of the remains best preserved as earthworks relate to the later stages of the village's existence and that some, perhaps most, of the village was laid out over earlier arable fields, whose date remains uncertain, but which may be associated with the earliest occupation of the village. The investigation results support the theory that the planning of the village did not take place in a single episode and the tentative proposal of an overall sequence of development, with West Row (south) perhaps representing the earliest part of the planned village, perhaps on the site of an earlier, less regimented settlement.
