Upper Hopton in the Domesday Book (1086)

YEAR: 1086 HUNDRED: Agbrigg COUNTY: Yorkshire

The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Upper Hopton, entered under the hundred of Agbrigg in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Upper Hopton at 4 carucates of taxable land.

At the time of the survey, Upper Hopton supported a recorded population of 3 slaves, working 1 plough between them.

The survey records Upper Hopton’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.
