Egmere medieval settlement is a deserted medieval village in Norfolk, England, about Шаблон:Convert west of Walsingham. It is a Scheduled Monument.[1]

History

The manor of Egmere was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as being held by the Bishop of Thetford. Subsidy rolls show a decline in population: in Egmere and Quarles there were 31 taxpayers in 1334, 10 in 1449 and 5 in 1523. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1538, the King granted the manor and patronage of the church to Sir James Boleyn. A report in 1603 noted that there was one household in Egmere, and that the church had become a barn.[1]

The church of St Edmund, now a ruin, dates from the 12th century; its tower is of the early 14th century. It is a Grade II* listed building.[2]

Egmere remained a civil parish until 1935 and is now part of Walsingham.[3]

Earthworks

The remains are on either side of the minor road between the villages of North Creake and South Creake in the west, and Walsingham in the east.[1]

South of the road are the ruins of the Church of St Edmund and the site of a manor house. The church and churchyard are on a mound about Шаблон:Convert above its surroundings. The church tower stands almost to its original height, and parts remain of the walls of the nave. The site of the manor house, about Шаблон:Convert south-south-east of the church, is now occupied by two cottages; south of this are the earthwork remains of a formal garden, with a long rectangular ornamental pond, about Шаблон:Convert long, on its southern edge.[1]

An area west of the church and manor house, along a stream, shows rectangular platforms, the sites of village buildings.[1]

North of the modern road are the remains of fishponds, and other features; there are channels thought to be evidence of a system for controlling the flow of water to and from the ponds.[1]

The main street of the village survives as a ditch: it runs south along the east side of the area north of the modern road; south of the modern road it bends to the south-west, passing immediately north of the church.[1]
