Barnby Hall in the Domesday Book (1086)
The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Barnby Hall, entered under the hundred of Staincross in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Barnby Hall at 2 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Barnby Hall supported a recorded population of 10 villagers, 12 smallholders, 4 slaves, working 7 ploughs between them.
The survey records Barnby Hall’s value at 4 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.
