Toulston in the Domesday Book (1086)

The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Toulston, entered under the hundred of Barkston in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Toulston at 5.8 carucates of taxable land.

The survey records Toulston’s value at 0d 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.

1 of 2 manors within Toulston are recorded as waste in 1086, with the remainder still productive. This partial devastation suggests the settlement was caught in the path of the Harrying of the North but not entirely destroyed - or that recovery had begun in some holdings by the time of the survey.
