Preston Patrick in the Domesday Book (1086)
The settlement of Preston Patrick is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Amounderness in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Preston Patrick at 6.8 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Preston Patrick supported a recorded population of 13 villagers, 10 smallholders, 6 slaves, working 8 ploughs between them.
The survey records Preston Patrick’s value at 6 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.
