List of lost settlements in Norfolk

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are believed to be around 200 lost settlements in Norfolk, England.[1][2] This includes places which have been abandoned as settlements due to a range of reasons and at different dates.[3] Types of lost settlement include deserted medieval villages (DMVs), relocated or "shrunken" villages, those lost to coastal erosion and other settlements known to have been "lost" or significantly reduced in size over the centuries, including those evacuated during World War II due to the creation of the Stanford Training Area. There are estimated to be as many as 3,000 deserted medieval villages in England.
