The Domesday Book: A Glimpse into 11th Century Wiltshire and Dorset This extract from the Great Domesday Book provides a unique window into the resources and taxable values of the boroughs and manors of Wiltshire and Dorset during the late 11th century. Dated around 1085, this document was commissioned by King William the Conqueror to assess the extent of his new realm after the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. The intricately detailed spread showcases the wealth and productivity of various manors and boroughs, including those in Wiltshire and Dorset. Each entry lists the name of the landholder, the number of households, the amount of arable land, the value of meadows, woodlands, and mills, and the value of livestock and other movable goods. The Domesday Book is an invaluable historical resource, providing insights into the economic and social structure of England during the Middle Ages. Its meticulous records have enabled historians to trace the development of English society, agriculture, and governance over the centuries. This particular extract highlights the manors of Great Bedwyn, North Bradley, and South Bradley in Wiltshire, and the manor of Charminster in Dorset. The information contained within these pages offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily lives of the people who lived and worked on these lands over 900 years ago. The Domesday Book is a testament to the rich history and heritage of England, and its preservation is a reminder of the importance of historical records in understanding our past and shaping our future.
