Moxby Hall in the Domesday Book (1086)

The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Moxby Hall, entered under the hundred of Bulford in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Moxby Hall at 4 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Moxby Hall supported a recorded population of 16 villagers, 2 smallholders, working 9 ploughs between them.

The drop in value is hard to miss. Before 1066, Moxby Hall was worth 6 shillings; by 1086 that had dropped to 3 shillings – a fall of 50%. 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.
