Walburn DMV

The monument includes earthwork and buried remains of the medieval village of Walburn, located in the shallow valley of Gill Beck and alongside Crowhill Gill to the east of Walburn Hall. Included in the monument are remains of the village and extensive remains of the associated field system. Also included are upstanding ruins and below ground remains of a high status medieval house and associated structures. The first documentary record of the village of Walburn is in 1222. However, it has a regular street plan following the pattern of planned settlements built by the Normans during the late 11th and 12th centuries and it is likely to date from this period. It is known that at least two properties in the village were held by Ellerton priory. See: https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1019102#contributions
