Domesday book




I've been wondering who worked the land if Beeston had no households in the Domesday entry  and wondering if it was the villagers from Hunslet or Middleton. Though Middleton was larger, Bestone and Hunslet had the same Lords - Morfari and Thorsten in 1066. And, although I don't know what it means they had the same  'Head of Manor' too: Beeston I.
