Clifton in the Domesday Book (1086)

The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Clifton, entered under the hundred of Skyrack in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Clifton at 171 carucates of taxable land.

The survey records Clifton’s value at 0d 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.
