Domesday Book

Radworthy was situated in the hundred of South Molton, one of thirty two ancient administrative units of the county of Devon. [2] RAORDIN ("Radworthy", including today's division of North and South) is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as the 19th of the 46 holdings of William Cheever, a Devon Domesday Book tenant-in-chief, who held it in demesne. The Domesday Book entry for RAORDIN [3] stated a population of 8 villagers and 4 slaves in 1086. It was then valued at 60 shillings for tax purposes. The land value in 1099 had been only 15 shillings. It had been held immediately prior to the Norman Conquest of 1066 by "Alward son of Toki". The land at RAORDIN (North and South Radworthy) was sufficient for three ploughs. There was in addition 1 acre of meadow, 40 acres of pasture and woodland measuring 1 league long and 1 furlong wide.

Domesday Book 11th-century survey of landholding in England as well as the surviving manuscripts of the survey

Domesday Book is a manuscript record of the "Great Survey" of much of England and parts of Wales completed in 1086 by order of King William the Conqueror. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle states:

Then, at the midwinter [1085], was the king in Gloucester with his council .... After this had the king a large meeting, and very deep consultation with his council, about this land; how it was occupied, and by what sort of men. Then sent he his men over all England into each shire; commissioning them to find out "How many hundreds of hides were in the shire, what land the king himself had, and what stock upon the land; or, what dues he ought to have by the year from the shire."

William Cheever was one of the 52 Devon Domesday Book tenants-in-chief of King William the Conqueror. He held 46 landholdings in Devon. His lands later formed the feudal barony of Bradninch, Devon. His brother was Ralph de Pomeroy, feudal baron of Berry Pomeroy, Devon, with whom several of his holdings had been divided into two parts, one for each brother. His sister was Beatrix, who held from him the manor of Southleigh.
