Rillington appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Scard in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Rillington at 0.5 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Rillington supported a recorded population of 4 villagers, 2 smallholders, working 2 ploughs between them.
The survey puts Rillington’s value at 3 shillings, the same as before the Conquest. Unchanged valuations are relatively rare in the North, where disruption was widespread.
