Winkton in the Domesday Book (1086)
Winkton is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of Holderness [North Hundred] in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Winkton at 4.2 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Winkton supported a recorded population of 19 villagers, 9 smallholders, 4 slaves, working 21 ploughs between them.
The survey records Winkton’s value at 23 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.
