Posted by: Chrismc

In 1086 King William I of England published the Domesday Book, hand written on vellum and now on display at The National Archives in London.


Domesday Book is the earliest, and by far the most famous, English public record. It is the record of a survey which, according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, William the Conqueror ordered to be taken at Christmas 1085; a survey so thorough that not 'one ox nor one cow nor one pig' was omitted.

However, as of today the Domesday Book is now available online!! at Domesday Book Online

Thought it may be of interest to you history buffs!!
