Benniworth ("Beningvrde"), has two entries in the Domesday Book. Benniworth was a relatively large place at that time, with a total of 54 households (39 within the Wraggoe hundred and 15 within the lands of the Archbishop). In the early post-conquest period, land value rose from £5.5 in 1066 to £8.5 in 1086. George Clayton Tennyson (1778–1831), the father of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, was rector of the Church of St Julian in Benniworth (1802–1831).
