Holme in the Domesday Book (1086)

The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Holme, entered under the hundred of Amounderness in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Holme at 3 carucates of taxable land.

The survey records Holme’s value at 0d in 1086. No pre-Conquest figure survives – not unusual in the North, where records were disrupted by the Harrying and by the patchy coverage of the survey.

The Domesday survey records Holme as waste - uninhabited and unproductive. In Yorkshire, this designation most often reflects the Harrying of the North of 1069–70, when William I’s forces destroyed crops, livestock, and communities across the county to crush rebellion. Whether Holme recovered in subsequent decades is not recorded.
