Full Description
{1} Draughton is noted in Domesday Book where it is described as three separate manors but no population is recorded for two of them. In 1377, 66 people over the age of 14 paid the Poll Tax and in 1674, 49 households paid the Hearth Tax. Soon afterwards, in about 1720, Bridges noted that there were about 40 houses there. By 1801, 179 people lived in the parish. Earthworks suggest that the village was formerly more regular in plan with E-W street continuing further to the W and a series of rectangular closes, most clear S of the church, running S.E. to meet a narrow back lane. Former farm buildings to N.E. shown on 1837 map. [RCHM plan].
