Flagg in the Domesday Book (1086)

YEAR: 1086 HUNDRED: Blackwell COUNTY: Derbyshire

The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Flagg, entered under the hundred of Blackwell in Derbyshire. The survey assessed Flagg at 2 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Flagg supported a recorded population of 16 villagers, 2 smallholders, 7 slaves, working 6 ploughs between them.

The survey records Flagg’s value at 5.25 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.
