I wouldn't venture reviewing the contents of the Domesday Book !
I was simply pleased to hold a monument which is mentioned in every book on medieval England, some treasure chest which can now be opened at will. Though the survey it contains is probably of far more interest to a professional historian, one does quickly get an idea of the formidable takeover of the anglo-saxon economy by a foreign aristocracy over such a short period. The Norman Barons appear to have made a good return on investment after a rather devastating invasion, having taken ownership of every economic unit of estimatable wealth. Still, most readers will simply be delighted to check their favorite town or village has been surveyed 900 years ago.
