YEAR: 1086

HUNDRED: Langbaurgh

COUNTY: Yorkshire
Wilton appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Langbaurgh in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Wilton at 10 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Wilton supported a recorded population of 4 villagers, 7 smallholders, 4 slaves, working 4 ploughs between them.
The survey records Wilton’s value at 6 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.
