Sedsall in the Domesday Book (1086)

YEAR: 1086 HUNDRED: Appletree COUNTY: Derbyshire

The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Sedsall, entered under the hundred of Appletree in Derbyshire. The survey assessed Sedsall at 0.5 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Sedsall supported a recorded population of 3 villagers, 3 slaves, working 1 plough between them.

By 1086 Sedsall was worth 2 shillings, up from 1 shilling before the Conquest – which sets it apart from the many nearby villages left waste or devalued.
