Witton is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of Middlewich in Cheshire. The survey assessed Witton at 2 carucates of taxable land.
The survey records Witton’s value at 1 shilling 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.
