Duggleby in the Domesday Book (1086)
The settlement of Duggleby is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Scard in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Duggleby at 4 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Duggleby supported a recorded population of 10 villagers, 1 smallholder, 5 slaves, working 5 ploughs between them.
The survey records Duggleby’s value at 2.25 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.
