Bootle in the Domesday Book (1086)
YEAR: 1086
|
HUNDRED: Amounderness
|
COUNTY: Yorkshire
Bootle appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Amounderness in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Bootle at 10 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Bootle supported a recorded population of 13 villagers, 10 slaves, working 11 ploughs between them.
The survey records Bootle’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.
