Appleton le Street in the Domesday Book (1086)
The settlement of Appleton le Street is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Maneshou in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Appleton le Street at 20 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Appleton le Street supported a recorded population of 18 villagers, 12 smallholders, 6 slaves, working 11 ploughs between them.
The survey records Appleton le Street’s value at 19 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.
