The settlement of North Dalton is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Warter in Yorkshire.
The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of North Duffield, entered under the hundred of Howden in Yorkshire.
North Elmsall appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Osgodcross in Yorkshire.
North Ferriby appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Hessle in Yorkshire. The survey assessed North Ferriby at 1.5 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, North Ferriby supported a recorded population of 4 smallholders, 3 slaves, working 1 plough between them.
The survey records North Ferriby’s value at 2.1 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 North Frodingham, entered under the hundred of Holderness [North Hundred] in Yorkshire.
North Grimston is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of Scard in Yorkshire.
The settlement of North Holme House is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Maneshou in Yorkshire.

North Meols is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of [West] Derby in Cheshire. The survey assessed North Meols at 4 carucates of taxable land.
Most significantly, North Meols is recorded as waste in 1086 — land rendered uninhabitable and valueless. Before the Conquest, the settlement had been assessed at 1 shilling; by 1086 that value had collapsed entirely. This pattern — prosperity before 1066, devastation by 1086 — is the unmistakable signature of the Harrying of the North, William I’s campaign of systematic destruction across Yorkshire in 1069–70.
