Paull Holme in the Domesday Book (1086)

Paull Holme appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Holderness [South Hundred] in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Paull Holme at 3.8 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Paull Holme supported a recorded population of 8 villagers, 10 smallholders, 4 slaves, working 6 ploughs between them.

By 1086 Paull Holme was worth 5 shillings, up from 4 shillings before the Conquest – one of the few settlements in the area to hold its value through the upheaval.
