EXPLORING A LOST MEDIEVAL VILLAGE IN MYSTERIOUS WESSEX

A fairly unknown deserted lost Medieval village in Wiltshire- Once in Wessex with a link to Alfred The Great and the battle of Ethandun . I explore the village site that is in a remote location that dates from the Neolithic period then mentioned in the Saxon chronicles of AD878 and subsequently deserted in the 1400's . Join me on an adventure of discovery in this unique Wiltshire location that holds a mystery or a solution in our nations history !

Interesting James, we do enjoy your walks of interest. There is another ancient village remains near Quebec Farm, not far from Knoock camp on the Chitterne road, it's just off the bridleway.

There are so many in Wiltshire & Somerset -The significance of Yarnfield may have been forgotten-Thank you for watching and your information which I will look up and try to visit at sometime 😊

Top notch video, best one yet! Amazing to think it was a village for possibly thousands of years but there’s so little trace of it now

[@jameswalksinhistory3848]

So true hard to explain but you can see it was a village-Feet on the ground history and visits reveal so much-Thank you for watching

Glad you think so-Thank you Cara

[@janecapon2337]

I really enjoyed this exploration of a forgotten village. I wonder how many people walked those hollow ways to battle, and never returned to their homes.

[@jameswalksinhistory3848]

I agree-Thank you for watching

[@jaynesierakowska3120]

Lovely video as always.

[@jameswalksinhistory3848]

Thank you Jayne

Great video as usual James, I like the different conjecture on the route King Alfred took, from a walkers perspective I have always believed he came from Stourhead, across Whitesheet hill, then to Eggburts stone, which may have been located on Court hill outside Kingston Deverill. I think he then went onto Southleigh woods where he camped before marching, over Battlesbury hill to Eddington. But this just seems more likely for me from an ex-soldiers perspective, and their is some evidence for this in the anglo-saxon chronicles.

[@jameswalksinhistory3848]

So true the army could have gone this way as White Sheet is only 2.5 miles from this Village
