Ashley in the Domesday Book (1086)

Ashley appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Bucklow in Cheshire.

By 1086 Ashley was worth 40 shillings, up from 18 shillings before the Conquest – one of the few settlements in the area to hold its value through the upheaval.

The survey lists 8 manors at Ashley under different lords. Splitting a single settlement between multiple tenants was common across the North – Saxon estates broken up and handed to William’s followers after 1066.
