HUNDRED: Land of Count Alan

COUNTY: Yorkshire
Kirby Wiske is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of Land of Count Alan in Yorkshire.
The survey records Kirby Wiske’s value at 3 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.
