Rudby in the Domesday Book (1086)
The settlement of Rudby is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Langbaurgh in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Rudby at 1 carucate of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Rudby supported a recorded population of 3 villagers, 4 smallholders, 3 slaves, working 2 ploughs between them.
The survey records Rudby’s value at 8d 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.
