Broomhall in the Domesday Book (1086)
The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Broomhall, entered under the hundred of Warmundestrou in Cheshire. The survey assessed Broomhall at 0.5 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Broomhall supported a recorded population of 3 smallholders, 2 slaves, working 3 ploughs between them.
The survey records Broomhall’s value at 1.5 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.
