Youlthorpe in the Domesday Book (1086)
YEAR: 1086
|
HUNDRED: Pocklington
|
COUNTY: Yorkshire
Youlthorpe appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, entered under the hundred of Pocklington in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Youlthorpe at 4 carucates of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Youlthorpe supported a recorded population of 5 villagers, 6 smallholders, 4 slaves, working 5 ploughs between them.
The survey records Youlthorpe’s value at 2 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.
