Myton in the Domesday Book (1086)

YEAR: 1086 HUNDRED: Hessle COUNTY: Yorkshire

Myton appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Hessle in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Myton at 0.2 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Myton supported a recorded population of 3 smallholders.

The survey records Myton’s value at 10d 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.
