Sudfell is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of Ati’s Cross in Cheshire. The survey assessed Sudfell at 0.5 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Sudfell supported a recorded population of 1 villager, 2 smallholders, working 1 plough between them.
By 1086 Sudfell was worth 8d, up from 5d before the Conquest – in contrast to many Yorkshire neighbours whose valuations collapsed.
