Leidtorp in the Domesday Book (1086)

YEAR: 1086 HUNDRED: Dic COUNTY: Yorkshire

The settlement of Leidtorp is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Dic in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Leidtorp at 1 carucate of taxable land.

The survey records Leidtorp’s value at 1 shilling 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.
