Leavening in the Domesday Book (1086)

The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Leavening, entered under the hundred of Acklam in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Leavening at 24 carucates of taxable land.

1 of 2 manors within Leavening are recorded as waste in 1086, with the remainder still productive. This partial devastation suggests the settlement was caught in the path of the Harrying of the North but not entirely destroyed - or that recovery had begun in some holdings by the time of the survey.
