Lazenby is a deserted medieval village located in North Yorkshire. The settlement represents a typical example of medieval rural habitation in the region, with earthwork remains that preserve evidence of former dwelling platforms, field systems, and the structural layout of the community. The village was abandoned during the medieval period, a pattern shared by numerous settlements across northern England following economic and social changes. The surviving archaeological features provide valuable documentation of medieval village organisation and settlement patterns in Yorkshire.
