Appleton Roebuck in the Domesday Book (1086)
The settlement of Appleton Roebuck is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Ainsty in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Appleton Roebuck at 20 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Appleton Roebuck supported a recorded population of 23 villagers, 7 slaves, working 9 ploughs between them.
The survey records Appleton Roebuck’s value at 10 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.
