The settlement of Newsham Grange is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Allerton in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Newsham Grange at 24.3 carucates of taxable land.

The valuation dropped between 1066 and 1086. Before 1066, Newsham Grange was worth 24.37 shillings; by 1086 that had dropped to 12.85 shillings – a fall of 47%. 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.
