Farleton in the Domesday Book (1086)
The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Farleton, entered under the hundred of Amounderness in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Farleton at 20 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Farleton supported a recorded population of 18 villagers, 12 smallholders, 6 slaves, working 11 ploughs between them.
The survey records Farleton’s value at 19 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.
