Malham in the Domesday Book (1086)
YEAR: 1086
|
HUNDRED: Craven
|
COUNTY: Yorkshire
The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Malham, entered under the hundred of Craven in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Malham at 1 carucate of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Malham supported a recorded population of 21 villagers, 10 smallholders, 3 slaves, working 15 ploughs between them.
The survey records Malham’s value at 11.75 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.
