Domesday Book[]
North Radworthy is mentioned in the Domesday Book, alongside the neighbouring hamlet of South Radworthy. They both sit in the ancient Hundred of South Molton, one of thirty two ancient administrative units of the county of Devon.[7]
The entry in the Domesday Book for North and South Radworthy stated a population of twelve households (eight villagers and four slaves) which was tax assessed to pay a total of 0.3 geld units. The land value in 1086 was recorded as £3 which was an increase from the c.1070 recording of £0.8. The Lord in 1066 was Alward son of Toki but this changed in 1086 to William the Goat, who was also Tenant-in-Chief. The agricultural land in North and South Radworthy consisted of three ploughlands (two lord's plough teams and one men's plough teams); 0.12 lord's lands; one acre of meadow land; forty acres of pasture land; one league of woodland and one furlong of mixed measures. The land held ten cattle, four pigs and fifty sheep.[8][9]
