Croft in the Domesday Book (1086)
The settlement of Croft is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Land of Count Alan in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Croft at 0.8 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Croft supported a recorded population of 9 villagers, working 2 ploughs between them.
The survey puts Croft’s value at 2.5 shillings, the same as before the Conquest. Unchanged valuations are relatively rare in the North, where disruption was widespread.
