From the Domesday Book it is found that prior to the Norman conquest of England, "Molecote", had been held by Alcher, and that in 1086 it was held by Godebold. The value of its 11 acres had doubled in the intervening two decades, to 20 shillings. At the time it was mostly pasture, with some meadow.
