The settlement of Hatfield is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Strafforth in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Hatfield at 2 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Hatfield supported a recorded population of 9 villagers, 10 smallholders, working 5 ploughs between them.
The survey puts Hatfield’s value at 2 shillings, the same as before the Conquest. Unchanged valuations are relatively rare in the North, where disruption was widespread.
