The settlement of Hartforth is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Land of Count Alan in Yorkshire.
The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Harthill, entered under the hundred of Blackwell in Derbyshire. The survey assessed Harthill at 6 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Harthill supported a recorded population of 4 villagers, working 1 plough between them.
The drop in value is hard to miss. Before 1066, Harthill was worth 1.51 shillings; by 1086 that had dropped to 3d – a fall of 90%. 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.
The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Harthill, entered under the hundred of Strafforth in Yorkshire.
The settlement of Hartington is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Hamston in Derbyshire. The survey assessed Hartington at 6 carucates of taxable land.
Most significantly, Hartington is recorded as waste in 1086 — land rendered uninhabitable and valueless. Before the Conquest, the settlement had been assessed at 2 shillings; by 1086 that value had collapsed entirely. This pattern — prosperity before 1066, devastation by 1086 — is the unmistakable signature of the Harrying of the North, William I’s campaign of systematic destruction across Yorkshire in 1069–70.
