context_page_description: Wharram Percy is a deserted medieval village near Malton, North Yorkshire, on the western edge of the chalk Wolds of North Yorkshire, England. It is about 1 mile south of Wharram-le-Street and is signposted from the B1248 Beverley to Malton road. 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. The site was researched each summer by combined teams of archaeologists, historians and even botanists, from about 1950 to 1990 after it was singled out for study in 1948 by Professor Maurice Beresford of the University of Leeds.
