YEAR: 1086
|
HUNDRED: Middlewich
|
COUNTY: Cheshire
Newbold Astbury appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Middlewich in Cheshire. The survey assessed Newbold Astbury at 0.2 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Newbold Astbury supported a recorded population of 2 villagers, working 1 plough between them.
The survey records Newbold Astbury’s value at 5d 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.
