Huntington in the Domesday Book (1086)

The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Huntington, entered under the hundred of Bulford in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Huntington at 2 carucates of taxable land.

Most significantly, Huntington is recorded as waste in 1086 - land rendered uninhabitable and valueless. Before the Conquest, the settlement had been assessed at 3 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.
