Monk Hay Stile is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of Barkston in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Monk Hay Stile at 5 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Monk Hay Stile supported a recorded population of 3 smallholders, 1 slave, working 2 ploughs between them.
The survey records Monk Hay Stile’s value at 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.
The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Monkwith, entered under the hundred of Holderness [South Hundred] in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Monkwith at 1 carucate of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Monkwith supported a recorded population of 5 villagers, 5 smallholders, working 3 ploughs between them.
The drop in value is hard to miss. Before 1066, Monkwith was worth 2 shillings; by 1086 that had dropped to 1.5 shillings – a fall of 25%. 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.
