Clutton in the Domesday Book (1086)

The settlement of Clutton is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Duddeston in Cheshire. The survey assessed Clutton at 20 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Clutton supported a recorded population of 23 villagers, 6 smallholders, 9 slaves, working 12 ploughs between them.

The valuation dropped between 1066 and 1086. Before 1066, Clutton was worth 11 shillings; by 1086 that had dropped to 10 shillings – a fall of 9%. 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.
