Southorpe in the Domesday Book (1086)
Southorpe appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Holderness [North Hundred] in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Southorpe at 1 carucate of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Southorpe supported a recorded population of 4 smallholders, working 1 plough between them.
The survey records Southorpe’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.
