Answer 2

If you mean when was the area used for dwellings rather than as farmland, it began at some time during the Bronze Age, perhaps 3,000 to 4,500 years ago.

The area was also settled by the Romans (obviously under a different name).

It it mainly known as the site of a small but rather unusual medieval village - unusual in having two manor houses rather than the more usual one. It flourished between the 12th and 14th centuries (the 1100s to the 1300s) and was finally abandoned just after the medieval period, some time in the 1500s.

It is thought that the advantages and profits in sheep farming outweighed the advantages of small rural villages at this time, so more than 3,000 medieval villages were abandoned and demolished to make way for sheep. Warram Percy is perhaps the most famous of these so-called "lost villages".

In Domesday Book of 1086 it is recorded as Warron or Warran, with at that time only 4 ploughs in use and almost no villagers (due probably to King William's devastation of the northern Shires to quell rebellion).

Answer 3

Wharram Percy is a deserted medieval English village that has been the subject of considerable archaeological study. It is located in North Yorkshire and was identified in 1948. Only the stone church, partially in ruins, remains as an above ground structure. The site is now in the hands of English Heritage, is open to the public, and guide books, a downloadable audio tour, and panels at the sight interpret the location for visitors.
