Fridaythorpe in the Domesday Book (1086)
The settlement of Fridaythorpe is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Acklam in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Fridaythorpe at 1 carucate of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Fridaythorpe supported a recorded population of 3 villagers, 6 smallholders, working 4 ploughs between them.
The survey records Fridaythorpe’s value at 1 shilling 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.
