Thirtleby in the Domesday Book (1086)

Thirtleby is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of Holderness [Middle Hundred] in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Thirtleby at 87 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Thirtleby supported a recorded population of 30 villagers, working 9 ploughs between them.

Something went badly wrong here between the two surveys. Before 1066, Thirtleby was worth 88 shillings; by 1086 that had dropped to 1.01 shillings – a fall of 98%. 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.
