Easby in the Domesday Book (1086)
YEAR: 1086
|
HUNDRED: Langbaurgh
|
COUNTY: Yorkshire
The settlement of Easby is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Langbaurgh in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Easby at 0.5 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Easby supported a recorded population of 4 villagers.
The survey records Easby’s value at 12d 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.
