Kipling Cotes in the Domesday Book (1086)

The settlement of Kipling Cotes is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Weighton in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Kipling Cotes at 14 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Kipling Cotes supported a recorded population of 19 villagers, 8 smallholders, working 17 ploughs between them.

The valuation dropped between 1066 and 1086. Before 1066, Kipling Cotes was worth 21.5 shillings; by 1086 that had dropped to 18.5 shillings – a fall of 13%. 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.
