Newsholme in the Domesday Book (1086)
Newsholme is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of Craven in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Newsholme at 1.2 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Newsholme supported a recorded population of 3 villagers, 5 smallholders, 1 slave, working 3 ploughs between them.
The survey records Newsholme’s value at 14d 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.
