The Domesday Book: A Glimpse into 11th Century Suffolk's Taxable Resources and Values This extract from the Little Domesday Book, dated around 1085, offers a unique glimpse into the resources and taxable values of the boroughs and manors of Suffolk during the late 11th century in England. The Domesday Book, a comprehensive survey commissioned by William the Conqueror, serves as an invaluable historical document that provides insights into the economic and social structure of England at the time. The excerpt showcases the meticulous detail with which the survey was conducted. It lists various manors and their respective taxable values, including those in Suffolk. For instance, the entry for the manor of Bures states that it had 12 houses, 1 church, 1 mill, and 16 ploughs. The total taxable value of the manor was 60 shillings. Further down the page, the entry for the borough of Sudbury reveals that it had a population of approximately 1,500 people, with 120 houses and 3 mills. The borough's taxable value was 100 pounds, a significant amount for the time. The Domesday Book's extensive and detailed records provide historians with a wealth of information about the economic and social conditions of England during the late 11th century. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the taxable resources and values of Suffolk during this period, providing valuable insights into the lives of the people who lived there over a thousand years ago.
