Pennington in the Domesday Book (1086)

The settlement of Pennington is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Amounderness in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Pennington at 10 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Pennington supported a recorded population of 10 villagers, 4 smallholders, 3 slaves, working 10 ploughs between them.

The valuation dropped between 1066 and 1086. Before 1066, Pennington was worth 8 shillings; by 1086 that had dropped to 7 shillings – a fall of 12%. 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.
