Breck in the Domesday Book (1086)
YEAR: 1086
|
HUNDRED: Langbaurgh
|
COUNTY: Yorkshire
The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Breck, entered under the hundred of Langbaurgh in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Breck at 5 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Breck supported a recorded population of 24 villagers, 8 smallholders, 5 slaves, working 13 ploughs between them.
The survey records Breck’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.
