Huyton in the Domesday Book (1086)

The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Huyton, entered under the hundred of [West] Derby in Cheshire. The survey assessed Huyton at 1.7 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Huyton supported a recorded population of 12 smallholders, 2 slaves, working 4 ploughs between them.

The drop in value is hard to miss. Before 1066, Huyton was worth 5.6 shillings; by 1086 that had dropped to 5.1 shillings – a fall of 8%. Most Yorkshire villages that lost value on this scale were swept up in the Harrying of the North – William’s scorched-earth campaign of 1069–70.
