Croom House in the Domesday Book (1086)

Croom House is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of Toreshou in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Croom House at 3.1 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Croom House supported a recorded population of 7 villagers, 4 smallholders, 12 freemanmen, working 6 ploughs between them.

Something went badly wrong here between the two surveys. Before 1066, Croom House was worth 4 shillings; by 1086 that had dropped to 3.05 shillings – a fall of 23%. 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.
