Kirkby Fleetham in the Domesday Book (1086)
The settlement of Kirkby Fleetham is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Land of Count Alan in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Kirkby Fleetham at 5 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Kirkby Fleetham supported a recorded population of 4 villagers, 6 smallholders, 2 slaves, working 3 ploughs between them.
The survey records Kirkby Fleetham’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.
