York in the Domesday Book (1086)
YEAR: 1086
|
HUNDRED: York
|
COUNTY: DEV
The 1086 Domesday survey records the settlement of York, entered under the hundred of York in DEV. The survey assessed York at 0.5 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, York supported a recorded population of 6 villagers, 4 smallholders, 1 slave, working 2 ploughs between them.
The survey records York’s value at 10d 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.
