Barmby Moor in the Domesday Book (1086)

The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Barmby Moor, entered under the hundred of Pocklington in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Barmby Moor at 5 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Barmby Moor supported a recorded population of 5 villagers, 2 smallholders, working 2 ploughs between them.

The drop in value is hard to miss. Before 1066, Barmby Moor was worth 1 shilling; by 1086 that had dropped to 13d – a fall of 35%. 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.
