HUNDRED: Middlewich

The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Moulton, entered under the hundred of Middlewich in Cheshire. The survey assessed Moulton at 2 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Moulton supported a recorded population of 6 villagers, 3 smallholders, 4 slaves, working 5 ploughs between them.
By 1086 Moulton was worth 1 shilling, up from 12d before the Conquest – which sets it apart from the many nearby villages left waste or devalued.
