EDITORS COMMENTS
1. The Domesday Book: A Glimpse into England's Past - Surrey Edition The Domesday Book, an invaluable historical document from medieval England, provides a detailed record of the resources and taxable values of the boroughs and manors in the county of Surrey during the late 11th century. This extract from the Great Domesday Book, dating back to approximately 1085, offers a fascinating insight into the economic and social structure of Surrey during this period. The Domesday Book was commissioned by William the Conqueror, the Norman king of England, following his successful invasion of England in 1066. The purpose of this extensive survey was to assess the resources and taxable values of the newly conquered lands, allowing the crown to effectively manage and govern the realm. This particular page from the Surrey edition of the Domesday Book features the borough of Guildford, an important market town and royal manor. The document lists various manors and their respective holders, along with details about the land, livestock, and people. For instance, we learn that the manor of Guildford itself was held by the king, while the manor of Shalford was in the possession of the Bishop of Winchester. The Domesday Book is an essential resource for historians, archaeologists, and anyone interested in understanding the historical context of England during the late Anglo-Saxon and early Norman periods. The meticulous records contained within this document offer a unique perspective on the social, economic, and political landscape of the time, making it an invaluable contribution to our understanding of England's rich history. This image, an extract from the Great Domesday Book, serves as a testament to the remarkable preservation of historical records and the enduring value of historical research. It invites us to explore the past and appreciate the depth of knowledge that can be gained through a careful study of primary sources.
