WASTE
Parlington is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of Skyrack in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Parlington at 1 carucate of taxable land.
Parlington is recorded as waste in the 1086 survey. The waste designation appears to predate the Norman Conquest — suggesting the settlement had already been struggling before 1066, though the subsequent Harrying of the North in 1069–70 would have made recovery significantly harder.
