Bossall in the Domesday Book (1086)
YEAR: 1086
|
HUNDRED: Bulford
|
COUNTY: Yorkshire
Bossall appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Bulford in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Bossall at 5 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Bossall supported a recorded population of 4 villagers, 7 smallholders, working 4 ploughs between them.
The survey records Bossall’s value at 6 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.
