Guiseley in the Domesday Book (1086)
YEAR: 1086
|
HUNDRED: Skyrack
|
COUNTY: Yorkshire
Guiseley appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Skyrack in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Guiseley at 1 carucate of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Guiseley supported a recorded population of 10 villagers, 9 smallholders, 2 slaves, working 9 ploughs between them.
The survey records Guiseley’s value at 4 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.
