Wirswall in the Domesday Book (1086)

The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Wirswall, entered under the hundred of Warmundestrou in Cheshire. The survey assessed Wirswall at 6 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Wirswall supported a recorded population of 7 villagers, 5 smallholders, working 6 ploughs between them.

The drop in value is hard to miss. Before 1066, Wirswall was worth 2 shillings; by 1086 that had dropped to 1 shilling – a fall of 50%. 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.
