Worrall in the Domesday Book (1086)

Worrall appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Strafforth in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Worrall at 0.2 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Worrall supported a recorded population of 2 smallholders.

The survey records Worrall’s value at 2d 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.
