Aldwark in the Domesday Book (1086)

Aldwark is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of Bulford in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Aldwark at 30 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Aldwark supported a recorded population of 69 villagers, 17 smallholders, 49 slaves, working 58 ploughs between them.

Something went badly wrong here between the two surveys. Before 1066, Aldwark was worth 38 shillings; by 1086 that had dropped to 33 shillings – a fall of 13%. 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.
