The Meaning of the Name

The name Ilkley is of Anglo-Saxon origin. Its final element derives from the Old English word lēah, a woodland clearing or glade. The first element is most likely a personal name or an early descriptive term, now difficult to recover with certainty. Taken together the name probably meant something close to ‘a clearing’.

Ilton in the Domesday Book (1086)

The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Ilton, entered under the hundred of Land of Count Alan in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Ilton at 10 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Ilton supported a recorded population of 7 villagers, 3 smallholders, 6 slaves, working 7 ploughs between them.

The drop in value is hard to miss. Before 1066, Ilton was worth 8.1 shillings; by 1086 that had dropped to 7.1 shillings – a fall of 12%. 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.
