Great Kendale in the Domesday Book (1086)
The settlement of Great Kendale is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Driffield in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Great Kendale at 0.2 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Great Kendale supported a recorded population of 2 smallholders, 1 slave, working 1 plough between them.
The survey records Great Kendale’s value at 5d 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.
