Why Does England Have 3000 Deserted Medieval Villages?

Published

on



All across England are thousands of abandoned and deserted medieval villages. Once during the Middle Ages, these were thriving communities based around the farming or agricultural industry. However today it is estimated that 3000 of these villages or sites are left abandoned and have been lost of forgotten. It seems that at a period of time, people seemed to leave behind their lives as farmers in these settlements, to go somewhere else or to do something else.

However what if the reason why these villages have become deserted is much more sinister and is linked to the Black Death that battered England and Europe in the mid 14th century? Today we look at the reasons why these villages were deserted, including looking at changes in the way land was used, a shift involving towns and much more. So join us today as we look at, ‘Why does England have 3000 Deserted Medieval villages?’

    Are villages in general dying out because of industrialization?

    Do you specialise in Medieval British and WW2 history, or do you do other subjects? And where did you learn it all or do you do research for every video?

    Hey, thanks in advance for the insight. I'm just curious on how the land ownership worked in the medieval times? Nowadays you have certificate of ownership recognized by a whole country. But how did we do it back then when even many people can't even read? Thanks mate!

    Great video!
    But what about demographic decline during the Late Medieval Ages, wars and the Enclosure Movement? Or are these not that relevant?

    The only memorial of some villages is a family name .

    Are those structures still there just buried under the ground from where they have sunken in overtime?

    Im willing to agree that its 'barbaric' to have poor peoples homes torn down to make way for rich peoples homes but its not like thats not going on literally all the time. Like right now in my urban U.S. neighborhood this is occurring regularly.

    you forgot one possible reason: conquerors such as william the conqueror wiped out multiple whole populations upon arriving in england, which is why some are recorded with very low populations in the domesday book or just left out completely.

Postmodernism and Its Impact, Explained.

Helen Pluckrose outlines some of the arguments later explored in depth in her bestselling 2020 book, Cynical Theories (co-authored with James Lindsay). The essay charts the pernicious influence of postmodernist thinking on two generations of academics and activists. If you want to understand how we got to a place where microaggressions are denounced as violence but the brutal terrorism of an intifada is considered righteous, this is an important primer.
