The Domesday Record also tells us that the manor belonged to King Edward in demesne, and was then in King William's hands; yet the tenants of the manor do not seem to have had the privileges of ancient demesne.

Excerpt from Court Rolls of the Manor of Wakefield, Vol. 1: 1274 to 1297
The earliest information we get as to Wakefield is derived, as in so many other cases, from Domesday Book. From it we learn that prior to the Conquest the manor had belonged to King Edward the Confessor, and was then in the hands of King William. It consisted of Wakefield itself; nine berewicks, namely, Sandal Magna, Sowerby, Warley, Feslei (which is probably identical with Halifax), Midgeley, Wadsworth, Crosston, Longfield, and Stansfield; fourteen sokes, namely, Criggleston, West Bretton, Horbury, Ossett, Earlsheaton, Stanley, Shitlington, Emley, Cartworth, Kirkburton, Shepley, Shelley, Cumberworth, and Crosland; four other sokes, namely. Holme, Yateholme, Anstonley, and Quick, which were claimed to be thaneland; the soke of two manors in Normanton; and the manor of Dewsbury. In addition to all these, it is stated in the Claims that the church of S. Mary in Morley Wood [Woodkirk] also belonged to Wakefield; and in the Recapitulation that lands in Hipperholme, North Owram, Shelf, Stainland, Old Linley, Fixby, Rastrick, Eccleshill, Farnley, Ardsley, Greetland, and Hanging Heaton, were of the soke of Wakefield.
The Domesday Record also tells us that the manor belonged to King Edward "in demesne," and was then in King William's hands; yet the tenants of the manor do not seem to have had the privileges of "ancient demesne."
At an early date, not precisely ascertainable, Wakefield was granted by the Crown to one of the family of Warenne.
