Ulnaby, Durham   (Deserted Village)

Ulnaby is an abandoned village surviving as earthworks near High Coniscliffe, County Durham. It is four miles north-west of Darlington in the grounds of Ulnaby Hall Farm. It consists of a number of tofts (peasant house plots and their accompanying yards and gardens) in two rows with a village green and is situated next to Ulnaby Hall farmhouse. The toft village was occupied from the late 13th to the 16th century and temporary buildings were erected in the 19th century. Ulnaby Hall farm appears to have been built in the late 16th century, supplanting a high-status mediæval manorial enclosure associated with the original village. It is thought that the village shrank because of the change from labour-intensive arable farming to pasture, before being abandoned and the site was subsumed into the farm as pasture. In April 2008, archaeological television programme 'Time Team' excavated the site. It is within the council area of Darlington.
