Millington in the Domesday Book (1086)

The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Millington, entered under the hundred of Warter in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Millington at 2.4 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Millington supported a recorded population of 15 villagers, 9 smallholders, 9 slaves, working 8 ploughs between them.

The survey records Millington’s value at 3.5 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.
