Excerpt from Domesday Book: The Cambridgeshire Portion of the Great Survey of England of William the Conqueror, A. D. 1086
Local history, if by that term we understand something more than a disjointed collection of events, or, as is more often the case, shadows of events, begins with the Norman Conquest; before that date we have meagre notices of happenings - usually military - and the fragmentary evidence of archaeology. It is only with the commencement of an adequate series of records that the construction of history, as contrasted with a web of mere a priori theories, becomes possible. We can best realise this important fact by asking ourselves how far we could understand the real meaning of the Norman Conquest, had not time spared the documentary evidence we actually possess; nothing but the bare fact would remain, without any hint as to the nature of the great change.
The history of a county, therefore, or of a parish, though it must take note of indications of Prehistoric or Roman or Saxon occupation, really begins with the Domesday records; and it is no rash generalisation to say that in them the historian first finds terra firma. Yet this starting point can, in many cases, be reached only with considerable toil and expense. Apart from the edition of the Domesday Book which is practically inaccessible, facsimiles of the portion of Domesday Book relating to particular counties can indeed be obtained, but are comparatively uncommon and printed texts are only partially available, and even then, in many cases in monumental editions. Moreover, even men of education find themselves at a loss to make use of this material, buried as it is in a mass of barbarous Latin technical terms, until they have by close study mastered the grammar, as it were, of their subject.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate details of life in 11th-century Cambridgeshire, England, as revealed through the Domesday Book and related historical documents. It paints a vivid picture of rural society, exploring the economic realities, social hierarchy, and legal framework that governed everyday life. The author meticulously analyzes technical terms and land measures used in the Domesday records, reconstructing the landscape of villages, agricultural practices, and even the types of produce cultivated. We encounter lords and their manors, villeins working the land, and the dwindling class of sokemen caught between freedom and servitude. Beyond the rural landscape, the book examines the unique position of the borough of Cambridge, highlighting its distinct legal status and economic significance. It also sheds light on the role of the Church as a landowning corporation, offering glimpses into the lives of village priests and the impact of religious institutions on the community. By drawing on these rich historical sources, this book offers invaluable insights into a pivotal period in English history, revealing the profound transformations brought about by the Norman Conquest and the enduring legacy of this era on the social and economic fabric of Cambridgeshire.
