Suthauuic in the Domesday Book (1086)
The settlement of Suthauuic is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086, entered under the hundred of Hallikeld in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Suthauuic at 0.8 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Suthauuic supported a recorded population of 1 villager.
The survey records Suthauuic’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.
The survey lists 3 manors at Suthauuic under different lords. Splitting a single settlement between multiple tenants was common across the North – Saxon estates broken up and handed to William’s followers after 1066.
