Cookridge in the Domesday Book (1086)
YEAR: 1086
|
HUNDRED: Skyrack

COUNTY: Yorkshire
The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Cookridge, entered under the hundred of Skyrack in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Cookridge at 0.2 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Cookridge supported a recorded population of 2 villagers, 2 smallholders, 1 slave, working 2 ploughs between them.
The survey records Cookridge’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.
