Brampton en le Morthen in the Domesday Book (1086)

Brampton en le Morthen is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of Strafforth in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Brampton en le Morthen at 9 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Brampton en le Morthen supported a recorded population of 13 villagers, 8 smallholders, 2 freemanmen, working 8 ploughs between them.

The survey records Brampton en le Morthen’s value at 4 shillings 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.
