Chisworth and Higher Chisworth in the Domesday Book (1086)

The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Chisworth and Higher Chisworth, entered under the hundred of Blackwell in Derbyshire. The survey assessed Chisworth and Higher Chisworth at 5.9 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Chisworth and Higher Chisworth supported a recorded population of 6 villagers, 25 smallholders, 4 slaves, 38 freemanmen, working 13 ploughs between them.

By 1086 Chisworth and Higher Chisworth was worth 4.63 shillings, up from 3.5 shillings before the Conquest – which sets it apart from the many nearby villages left waste or devalued.

The name Cholmondeley is of Anglo-Saxon origin. Its final element derives from the Old English word lēah, a woodland clearing or glade.

Cholmondeston in the Domesday Book (1086)

Cholmondeston appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Warmundestrou in Cheshire. The survey assessed Cholmondeston at 4 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Cholmondeston supported a recorded population of 9 villagers, working 3 ploughs between them.

The numbers record a sharp fall. Before 1066, Cholmondeston was worth 12d; by 1086 that had dropped to 8d – a fall of 33%. 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.
