1. The Domesday Book: A Glimpse into 11th Century Devon's Taxable Resources and Values The captivating image before you presents an extract from the renowned Domesday Book, specifically focusing on the county of Devon during the late 11th century in England. This document, a significant historical treasure, is a meticulously compiled record of the resources and taxable values of the boroughs and manors in Devon at that time. The Domesday Book, also known as the Great Domesday Book, was commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1085 to assess the resources of his newly conquered realm. This monumental survey was an essential tool for the new rulers to understand the extent of their new territories, establish a tax base, and maintain control. In this excerpt, you can see the intricate details of the taxable resources and values of various manors and boroughs within Devon. The entries list the names of the landowners, the number of households, the amount of arable land, the value of meadows, woods, and mills, and the value of livestock. This information provides a fascinating insight into the economic and social structure of the region during the 11th century. The Domesday Book is a testament to the remarkable administrative capabilities of the Normans and their ability to record and manage vast territories. It is an invaluable resource for historians, genealogists, and anyone interested in understanding the history of England during this period. This image offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to the people and events that shaped the history of Devon and England.
