Yateholme in the Domesday Book (1086)
The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of Yateholme, entered under the hundred of Agbrigg in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Yateholme at 3 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Yateholme supported a recorded population of 18 villagers, 6 smallholders, 14 slaves, working 12 ploughs between them.
The survey records Yateholme’s value at 3 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.
