Strickland Roger in the Domesday Book (1086)

The settlement of Strickland Roger is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Amounderness in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Strickland Roger at 0.6 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Strickland Roger supported a recorded population of 3 villagers, 1 freeman, working 1 plough between them.

By 1086 Strickland Roger was worth 3 shillings, up from 1.5 shillings before the Conquest – a sign this community came through the Conquest without being ruined.
