In 1085 William the Conqueror commissioned a survey to discover the resources and taxable values of all the boroughs and manors in England.

Milcombe gets a short mention:
Ælfric holds of the king 3 ½ hides in MIDELCUMBE. [There is] land for 2 ploughs. In demesne he has 1 ½ ploughs, with 2 slaves, and 2s. from part of a mill, and 15 acres of meadow. [There is] pasture 2 furlongs long and 1 furlong broad. There 3 villans with 1 bordar have half a plough. It was and is worth 30s.
