Barthomley in the Domesday Book (1086)
The settlement of Barthomley is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Warmundestrou in Cheshire. The survey assessed Barthomley at 1 carucate of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Barthomley supported a recorded population of 6 smallholders, 1 slave, working 3 ploughs between them.
The survey records Barthomley’s value at 10d 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.
