After the Norman invasion of England (1066) the ownership of the land was partially redistributed.
The Domesday Book of 1086 represents a comprehensive survey of land ownership, listing details of the land usage and ownership.
Laycock village, and surrounding land, is listed as being owned by the King with an individual named Rafnsvartr being the tenant of approximately 200 acres.
