Profile

On the edge of the marshy valley of the river Hull in the East Riding the twin vills of Cranswick and Hutton were divided into three manors in 1066, held by Eadwulf 66 and two other men. The main Domesday entry gives the assessment as 9½ carucates, correcting what was originally written, which probably repeated the 8 carucates and 3 bovates listed in the corresponding entry in the Yorkshire Geld Summary (Yorks. SE:Dr5). Cranswick and Hutton were long, narrow vills of a type common on the edge of fens, stretching several miles from marshland at one end to the arable at the other. They may already have been indistinct from one another (another entry concerns ‘Cranswick or Hutton’: Yorks. 23E:8) and later formed the single township of Hutton Cranswick. The holding is much too far from any other owned by an Eadwulf for the same person to be involved.
