The name Linton is of Anglo-Saxon origin. Its final element derives from the Old English word tūn, a farmstead or village. The first element is most likely a personal name or an early descriptive term, now difficult to recover with certainty. Taken together the name probably meant something close to ‘a farmstead’.

Linton in the Domesday Book (1086)

The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Linton, entered under the hundred of Scard in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Linton at 8.5 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Linton supported a recorded population of 11 villagers, 4 smallholders, 8 slaves, working 9 ploughs between them.

By 1086 Linton was worth 24 shillings, up from 12 shillings before the Conquest – which sets it apart from the many nearby villages left waste or devalued.
