Fenton is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of Appletree in Derbyshire. The survey assessed Fenton at 6.5 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Fenton supported a recorded population of 11 smallholders, 4 slaves, working 4 ploughs between them.
The survey records Fenton’s value at 6.5 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.
Ferrensby is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of Burghshire in Yorkshire.

Filey is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of Dic in Yorkshire.
Findern is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of Litchurch in Derbyshire. The survey assessed Findern at 2.5 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Findern supported a recorded population of 9 villagers, 6 smallholders, working 8 ploughs between them.
Something went badly wrong here between the two surveys. Before 1066, Findern was worth 2.5 shillings; by 1086 that had dropped to 2 shillings – a fall of 19%. 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.

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.
