Swinton in the Domesday Book (1086)
YEAR: 1086
|
HUNDRED: Maneshou
|
COUNTY: Yorkshire
The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Swinton, entered under the hundred of Maneshou in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Swinton at 10 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Swinton supported a recorded population of 8 villagers, 10 smallholders, working 8 ploughs between them.
The survey records Swinton’s value at 2.5 shillings 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.
