The Domesday Book: A Glimpse into 11th Century Hampshire's Taxable Resources and Values This extract from the Great Domesday Book provides a unique window into the taxable resources and values of the boroughs and manors of Hampshire during the 11th century in England. Dated around 1085, this invaluable document was commissioned by King William I, also known as William the Conqueror, following his conquest of England in 1066. The Domesday Book was a comprehensive survey of the realm, aimed at assessing the value and resources of the newly acquired lands. The Hampshire excerpt showcases the meticulous detail with which the survey was conducted. It lists the names of the manors, their locations, the names of their lords, and the number of hides (a unit of land measurement) and the value of the land in pounds. Moreover, it includes details about the number of plough teams, the amount of meadow, woodland, and the value of the church and its possessions. The Domesday Book is an essential historical document, providing a snapshot of English society during the late Anglo-Saxon period. It offers insights into the economic and social structures of the time, as well as the impact of the Norman Conquest on the English countryside. The survival of this document is a testament to its historical significance, and it remains a vital resource for historians and researchers today. This image, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to explore the fascinating history of Hampshire and England during the 11th century.
