East and West Lutton in the Domesday Book (1086)

YEAR: 1086 HUNDRED: Toreshou COUNTY: Yorkshire

The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of East and West Lutton, entered under the hundred of Toreshou in Yorkshire. The survey assessed East and West Lutton at 5.6 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, East and West Lutton supported a recorded population of 8 villagers, 10 smallholders, 1 slave, working 6 ploughs between them.

The survey records East and West Lutton’s value at 4 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.
