Seamer in the Domesday Book (1086)

Seamer is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of Langbaurgh in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Seamer at 12 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Seamer supported a recorded population of 11 villagers, 5 smallholders, 7 slaves, working 5 ploughs between them.

The survey records Seamer’s value at 5 shillings in 1086. No pre-Conquest figure survives – not unusual in the North, where records were disrupted by the Harrying and by the patchy coverage of the survey.
