Halton in the Domesday Book (1086)

Halton appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Amounderness in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Halton at 6 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Halton supported a recorded population of 16 villagers, working 12 ploughs between them.

The numbers record a sharp fall. Before 1066, Halton was worth 6 shillings; by 1086 that had dropped to 4 shillings – a fall of 33%. 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.
