Coddington in the Domesday Book (1086)

Coddington is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of Duddeston in Cheshire. The survey assessed Coddington at 11 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Coddington supported a recorded population of 16 villagers, 21 smallholders, 8 slaves, working 10 ploughs between them.

Something went badly wrong here between the two surveys. Before 1066, Coddington was worth 20 shillings; by 1086 that had dropped to 15.5 shillings – a fall of 22%. 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.
