Ambaston in the Domesday Book (1086)
YEAR: 1086
|
HUNDRED: Litchurch
|
COUNTY: Derbyshire
Ambaston appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Litchurch in Derbyshire. The survey assessed Ambaston at 5 carucates of taxable land.
The survey records Ambaston’s value at 1 shilling 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.
