Risley in the Domesday Book (1086)
YEAR: 1086
|
HUNDRED: Morleystone
|
COUNTY: Derbyshire
The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Risley, entered under the hundred of Morleystone in Derbyshire. The survey assessed Risley at 1.1 carucates of taxable land.
The survey records Risley’s value at 1 shilling 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.
