Bingham's Melcombe is a deserted medieval village located in Dorset. The settlement is documented in medieval records and represents a site of significant archaeological interest for understanding rural settlement patterns in the region during the medieval period. The village was abandoned, like many settlements across southern England, likely as a result of late medieval economic and social changes.
