Oakworth in the Domesday Book (1086)

YEAR: 1086 HUNDRED: Craven COUNTY: Yorkshire

The settlement of Oakworth is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Craven in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Oakworth at 0.1 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Oakworth supported a recorded population of 3 slaves.

The survey records Oakworth’s value at 1d 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.
