Munentone is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of Ati’s Cross in Cheshire.

The numbers record a sharp fall. Before 1066, Murton was worth 15 shillings; by 1086 that had dropped to 12.5 shillings – a fall of 16%. 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.
