Arncliffe in the Domesday Book (1086)

The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Arncliffe, entered under the hundred of Craven in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Arncliffe at 6 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Arncliffe supported a recorded population of 30 villagers, 23 freemanmen, working 12 ploughs between them.

The drop in value is hard to miss. Before 1066, Arncliffe was worth 8.5 shillings; by 1086 that had dropped to 8 shillings – a fall of 5%. 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.
