Headington in the Domesday Book


This is a translation for the entry for Headington from the Domesday Book of 1086:

The King holds HEDINTONE. 10 hides. Now in lordship 6 ploughs.

20 villagers with 24 smallholders have 14 ploughs.
2 mills at 50s; 5 fisheries at 20s; from the meadows and pastures £4;
from the year’s corn £8; from "half-week" 30s; from
church tax 10s 6d; from other customary dues 100s and 25d.

The Jurisdiction of two Hundreds belongs to this manor;
Richard of Courcy withdraws for himself [the Jurisdiction] of 16 hides.

In total, it pays £60 [a year at] face value.
