Ulnaby is an abandoned village and scheduled ancient monument in the grounds of Ulnaby Hall Farm, near High Coniscliffe, County Durham. It is believed that this toft village was occupied from the late 13th century to the 16th century, followed by temporary 19th century buildings. Ulnaby Hall farm appears to have been built in the late 16th century, supplanting a fairly high status medieval manorial enclosure which was associated with the original village. It is thought that the village shrank due to the change from labour-intensive arable farming to pasture, and then was abandoned as the site was subsumed into the farm as pasture itself.
