Wharram Percy is a deserted medieval village (DMV) near Malton, North Yorkshire,on the western edge of the chalk Wolds of North Yorkshire, England. It is about 1 mile (1.6 km) south of Wharram-le-Street and is signposted from the Beverley to Malton road (B1248).
Wharram Percy was part of the East Riding of Yorkshire until the 1974 boundary changes.
Wharram Percy is a significant English DMV, although there are remains of others in a similarly good state of preservation.The earthworks of the village have been known for many years, and outlines of house platforms were drawn onto the first Ordnance Survey six-inch maps of Yorkshire published in 1854.
Although the site seems to have been settled since prehistory, the village appears to have been most active from the 10th to the 12th centuries. The Domesday Book of 1086 records it as 'Warran' or 'Warron'.
The suffix 'Percy' stems from the prominent, aristocratic family that owned the area during the Middle Ages.
The Black Death of 1348–49 does not seem to have played a significant part in the desertion of Wharram Percy, although the large fall in population in the country as a whole at that time must have encouraged relocation to larger settlements.
In 1402 or 1403, the Percy family exchanged their holdings in the area with the Hylton family.
Following changes in prices and wages during the 15th century, pastoral farming (particularly sheep) was more profitable for landowners than cereal farming. Over the century following, the Hylton family devoted more and more land to sheep, as their employment of agricultural labour decreased.
During the early 16th century, the last residents of Wharram Percy were evicted and their homes were demolished to make room for more sheep pasture.
Many paranormal groups have investigated this area as stories have circulated about a young boy who drown in the pond area and lots of skeletons was dug up in the name of research.
Psi have personally documented ghostly legs of a person and the sound of church music was witnessed by mark and Tony.
