Thornton Watlass in the Domesday Book (1086)

Thornton Watlass appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Land of Count Alan in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Thornton Watlass at 56.6 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Thornton Watlass supported a recorded population of 39 villagers, 3 smallholders, 11 freemanmen, working 22 ploughs between them.

The numbers record a sharp fall. Before 1066, Thornton Watlass was worth 20 shillings; by 1086 that had dropped to 13 shillings – 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.
