| Summary : The so-called 'North Manor' of Wharram Percy, comprising a complex of buildings, all well-preserved as earthworks, within an enclosure. Two manors are mentioned in Domesday Book, but it is uncertain whether both had associated manor houses. The visible remains are interpreted as the house held by the Percy family, which was the sole manor house in the village after c.1254 and was conveyed to the Hilton family c.1400. By the mid-C15th it was recorded as 'the site of a manor'. Amongst the earthworks, a hall, dovecote and probable tithe barn can be identified. Scheduled. |

In June and July 2002, English Heritage carried out a detailed investigation and field survey of Wharram Percy and its environs following a request from Dr Stuart Wrathmell, in order to underpin the completion of a synoptic publication of the long-running Wharram Percy Research Project.
A number of associated and earlier monuments previously described as part of the entry for the medieval village were allocated new records.
The Level 3 report on the investigation, which includes full textual description and analysis, plans at various scales, photographs and interpretative drawings, is available through the NMR. (1) |
