Tunstall in the Domesday Book (1086)

Tunstall is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of Amounderness in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Tunstall at 21 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Tunstall supported a recorded population of 16 villagers, 3 smallholders, 2 freemanmen, working 6 ploughs between them.

Something went badly wrong here between the two surveys. Before 1066, Tunstall was worth 4 shillings; by 1086 that had dropped to 3 shillings – a fall of 25%. 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.
