The ruined church in Embleton.


Embleton is a hamlet, township and former chapelry, in County Durham, in England, as well as the site of a medieval village and manor.[1] It is situated 3 miles (5 km) east of Sedgefield[2] and 4 miles (6 km) west of Hartlepool. The township was historically named "Elmdene", supposedly derived from the site's proximity to a woodland of elm trees which, at an earlier time, flourished in the bordering dene. A single farmstead now occupies the site which lies adjacent to the ruins of a small church (originally a manorial chapel of ease) dedicated to the Virgin Mary.[2]


From the 13th to the mid 16th century the manor was the seat of the Elmeden family who assumed the local name.[1] The village was one of nearly 1,500 medieval villages to be abandoned in the 14th century after the collapse of the demesne system of land management.[3] It afterwards passed in the female line to the Bulmers and Smythes and in the 18th century to the Tempests of Wynyard, ancestors of the Marquesses of Londonderry.[4]
