The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Oubrough, entered under the hundred of Holderness [Middle Hundred] in Yorkshire.
The settlement of Ouduluesmersc is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Dic in Yorkshire.
The settlement of Oulston is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Yarlestre in Yorkshire.
Oulton is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of Rushton in Cheshire.
The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Ounesbi, entered under the hundred of Land of Count Alan in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Ounesbi at 12 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Ounesbi supported a recorded population of 45 villagers, 21 smallholders, 6 slaves, working 21 ploughs between them.
The survey records Ounesbi’s value at 16 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 Ousethorpe Farm, entered under the hundred of Warter in Yorkshire.
Ouston Farm is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of Ainsty in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Ouston Farm at 10.6 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Ouston Farm supported a recorded population of 1 villager, 42 smallholders, 8 slaves, working 6 ploughs between them.
Something went badly wrong here between the two surveys. Before 1066, Ouston Farm was worth 9.75 shillings; by 1086 that had dropped to 8.5 shillings – a fall of 12%. 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.
The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Out Newton, entered under the hundred of Holderness [South Hundred] in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Out Newton at 6 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Out Newton supported a recorded population of 15 villagers, 20 smallholders, 7 slaves, working 8 ploughs between them.
By 1086 Out Newton was worth 12.35 shillings, up from 10 shillings before the Conquest – which sets it apart from the many nearby villages left waste or devalued.
Out Rawcliffe appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Amounderness in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Out Rawcliffe at 2 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Out Rawcliffe supported a recorded population of 4 villagers, 5 smallholders, working 2 ploughs between them.
The numbers record a sharp fall. Before 1066, Out Rawcliffe was worth 2 shillings; by 1086 that had dropped to 1.25 shillings – a fall of 37%. 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.
