YEAR: 1086
|
HUNDRED: Craven

COUNTY: Yorkshire
Giggleswick appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Craven in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Giggleswick at 3 carucates of taxable land.
The survey records Giggleswick’s value at 0d 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.
