Ingthorpe Grange in the Domesday Book (1086)

The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Ingthorpe Grange, entered under the hundred of Craven in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Ingthorpe Grange at 0.5 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Ingthorpe Grange supported a recorded population of 12 villagers, 6 smallholders, 15 slaves, working 10 ploughs between them.

The survey records Ingthorpe Grange’s value at 4 shillings 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.
