Low Dalby in the Domesday Book (1086)
YEAR: 1086
|
HUNDRED: Dic
|
COUNTY: Yorkshire
Low Dalby appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Dic in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Low Dalby at 5 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Low Dalby supported a recorded population of 3 villagers, 14 smallholders, 8 slaves, working 6 ploughs between them.
The survey records Low Dalby’s value at 4.5 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.
