Greenfield in the Domesday Book (1086)
The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Greenfield, entered under the hundred of Ati’s Cross in Cheshire. The survey assessed Greenfield at 1.5 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Greenfield supported a recorded population of 1 smallholder, 1 slave, working 1 plough between them.
The survey records Greenfield’s value at 1.25 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.
