HUNDRED: Warmundestrou

The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Walgherton, entered under the hundred of Warmundestrou in Cheshire. The survey assessed Walgherton at 0.5 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Walgherton supported a recorded population of 8 villagers, working 2 ploughs between them.
The survey puts Walgherton’s value at 16d, the same as before the Conquest. Unchanged valuations are relatively rare in the North, where disruption was widespread.
