The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Out Newton, entered under the hundred of Holderness [South Hundred] in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Out Newton at 6 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Out Newton supported a recorded population of 15 villagers, 20 smallholders, 7 slaves, working 8 ploughs between them.

By 1086 Out Newton was worth 12.35 shillings, up from 10 shillings before the Conquest – which sets it apart from the many nearby villages left waste or devalued.

The Meaning of the Name

The name Out Newton is of Anglo-Saxon origin. Its final element derives from the Old English word tūn, a farmstead or village, while the first element appears to represent the new. Taken together the name probably meant something close to ’the new farmstead’.

Remarkably, the name has changed little since 1086, when the Domesday scribes wrote it as Out Newton.
