Buckton Holms in the Domesday Book (1086)

YEAR: 1086 HUNDRED: Scard COUNTY: Yorkshire

The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Buckton Holms, entered under the hundred of Scard in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Buckton Holms at 0.2 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Buckton Holms supported a recorded population of 3 smallholders, 3 slaves.

The survey records Buckton Holms’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.
