Wharram Percy, Ryedale (By MickeyMoo)

WHARRAM PERCY is one of the most famous deserted medieval villages in England, located in the Yorkshire Wolds. Abandoned by the early 16th century, the site offers a remarkable glimpse into rural medieval life. Archaeological excavations have revealed the remains of peasant houses, a manor house, and a well-preserved church, which still stands today. Wharram Percy was occupied for over 600 years, with its decline largely due to economic changes, including the shift from arable farming to sheep pasture, which led landlords to evict tenants. Now managed by English Heritage, the site is open to the public and provides valuable insight into the social and economic transformations of medieval England.
