Mint House in the Domesday Book (1086)
Mint House appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Amounderness in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Mint House at 0.3 carucates of taxable land.
The survey puts Mint House’s value at 2d, the same as before the Conquest. Unchanged valuations are relatively rare in the North, where disruption was widespread.
The survey lists 2 manors at Mint House under different lords. Splitting a single settlement between multiple tenants was common across the North – Saxon estates broken up and handed to William’s followers after 1066.
