Minskip in the Domesday Book (1086)

YEAR: 1086 HUNDRED: Burghshire COUNTY: Yorkshire

The settlement of Minskip is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Burghshire in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Minskip at 3 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Minskip supported a recorded population of 1 villager, 10 smallholders, 4 slaves, working 4 ploughs between them.

The survey puts Minskip’s value at 3 shillings, the same as before the Conquest. Unchanged valuations are relatively rare in the North, where disruption was widespread.
