Picton in the Domesday Book (1086)
YEAR: 1086
|
HUNDRED: Ati's Cross
|
COUNTY: Cheshire
The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Picton, entered under the hundred of Ati’s Cross in Cheshire. The survey assessed Picton at 1.5 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Picton supported a recorded population of 3 villagers, 2 smallholders, working 3 ploughs between them.
The survey records Picton’s value at 2 shillings 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.
