1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: The Domesday Book of Oxfordshire, England (c. 1085) The Domesday Book, an invaluable historical document from medieval England, offers a unique insight into the economic and social conditions of the realm during the late 11th century. This image showcases an extract from the Great Domesday Book, specifically focusing on the county of Oxfordshire. Dating back to approximately 1085, the Domesday Book was commissioned by William the Conqueror following the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. Its primary purpose was to record the resources, manors, and taxable values of the boroughs and manors across the country. This comprehensive survey was essential for the newly established Norman rulers to assess the wealth and productivity of their new domain, as well as to establish a taxation system. In this extract from the Domesday Book, we see the meticulous detail with which the information was recorded. The document lists various manors, their locations, the names of their lords, and the resources and values associated with each. For instance, we can see that the manor of 'Woodstock' belonged to Earl Toli, with a total taxable value of 100 shillings. The Domesday Book's impact on historical research is immeasurable. It provides a snapshot of English society during the late Anglo-Saxon and early Norman periods, shedding light on topics such as land ownership, agricultural practices, and the administrative structures of the time. This fascinating document continues to captivate scholars and history enthusiasts alike, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. In conclusion, this image of an extract from the Domesday Book, specifically the county of Oxfordshire, offers a captivating window into the past. It provides a tangible connection to the events, people, and societal structures that shaped England during the late 11th century.
