At the time of the survey, Ianulfestorp supported a recorded population of 11 villagers, 3 slaves, working 6 ploughs between them.
The survey records Ianulfestorp’s value at 2.5 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.
