HUNDRED: Hunthow

COUNTY: Yorkshire
The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Staxton, entered under the hundred of Hunthow in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Staxton at 5 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Staxton supported a recorded population of 4 villagers, 4 smallholders, 1 slave, working 6 ploughs between them.
By 1086 Staxton was worth 3 shillings, up from 2.5 shillings before the Conquest – which sets it apart from the many nearby villages left waste or devalued.
