Gransmoor in the Domesday Book (1086)

Gransmoor appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Burton in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Gransmoor at 1 carucate of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Gransmoor supported a recorded population of 1 smallholder, working 1 plough between them.

By 1086 Gransmoor was worth 10d, up from 5d before the Conquest – one of the few settlements in the area to hold its value through the upheaval.
