Warburton in the Domesday Book (1086)

Warburton appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Bucklow in Cheshire. The survey assessed Warburton at 0.2 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Warburton supported a recorded population of 4 villagers, 1 smallholder, 1 slave, working 3 ploughs between them.

The survey records Warburton’s value at 15d 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.
