Overview

History & significance

Bleasby is a deserted medieval village located in Lincolnshire, England. The site preserves substantial earthwork remains characteristic of medieval settlement, including ridge-and-furrow field systems and the structural foundations of former dwellings and agricultural buildings. The village was largely abandoned during the medieval period, a pattern common to many English settlements affected by economic change and land reorganisation. The surviving archaeological features provide important evidence for understanding medieval rural life and the processes of village depopulation in the East Midlands.
