Griff Farm in the Domesday Book (1086)
The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Griff Farm, entered under the hundred of Maneshou in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Griff Farm at 10.5 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Griff Farm supported a recorded population of 20 villagers, 10 smallholders, 6 slaves, working 8 ploughs between them.
The survey records Griff Farm’s value at 9.2 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.
