Newsham, Durham   (Deserted Village)

Newsham is a hamlet and a deserted mediæval village on the banks of the River Tees in County Durham. Newsham (Anglo-Saxon meaning 'the new dwelling') takes its place name from a settlement around about the 12th century, evidence of which can be seen today along the top of the river Tees bank overlooking the village of Worsall in Yorkshire. Lines of walls, house foundations and other earthworks can still be traced, also the chapel of St James which was sequestered by the Bishop Langley in 1414 for non-payment of rent.

Upham, Wiltshire   (Deserted Village)

Upham is a deserted mediæval village near Aldbourne, Wiltshire. A hollow way approximately 650ft in length marks the main thoroughfare through the settlement. The sides of the hollow way are lined by a series of small enclosures, low platforms and short lengths of trackway which mark the location of buildings. The first documentary reference to the settlement is contained in an Anglo-Saxon charter of AD 955 which names it as Upammere. By 1476 Upper Upham was described as `at farm', suggesting that it had been largely depopulated by this point. In 1599 Richard Goddard built Upper Upham House to the south-east of the hollow way. This appears to have radically changed the layout of the settlement and led finally to the abandonment of the hollow way as a thoroughfare. The site is within the council area of Wiltshire.
