The settlement of Hebden is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Craven in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Hebden at 3.4 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Hebden supported a recorded population of 14 smallholders, 3 slaves, working 4 ploughs between them.
The survey puts Hebden’s value at 5 shillings, the same as before the Conquest. Unchanged valuations are relatively rare in the North, where disruption was widespread.
