Stapleton Terne in the Domesday Book (1086)

Stapleton Terne is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of Amounderness in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Stapleton Terne at 7 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Stapleton Terne supported a recorded population of 1 villager, 5 smallholders, 6 freemanmen, working 3 ploughs between them.

Something went badly wrong here between the two surveys. Before 1066, Stapleton Terne was worth 4 shillings; by 1086 that had dropped to 2 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.
