Egmere medieval settlement, Archaeological site in Walsingham, England.
The settlement contains three distinct areas with visible and buried remains, including church ruins, manor house foundations, and medieval enclosures along a valley.
Records from 1334 show 31 taxpayers in Egmere, but the population declined to just one household by 1603 following ownership changes and social shifts.
The remains of St Edmund's Church, positioned on a raised mound, demonstrate the architectural and religious practices of medieval Norfolk communities.
The archaeological site spans both sides of the minor road connecting North Creake, South Creake, and Walsingham, with clear paths for exploration.
The settlement features an extensive system of medieval fishponds and water management structures that reveal agricultural methods from the period.
