Deightonby Fields in the Domesday Book (1086)
Deightonby Fields appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Strafforth in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Deightonby Fields at 1.2 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Deightonby Fields supported a recorded population of 3 villagers, 2 smallholders, 1 slave, working 2 ploughs between them.
The survey records Deightonby Fields’s value at 3 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.
