Tittenley in the Domesday Book (1086)

YEAR: 1086 HUNDRED: Warmundestrou COUNTY: SHR

Tittenley appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Warmundestrou in SHR. The survey assessed Tittenley at 0.2 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Tittenley supported a recorded population of 6 villagers, 4 smallholders, 2 slaves, working 6 ploughs between them.

The survey records Tittenley’s value at 2 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.
