The Domesday Book: A Glimpse into Medieval Birmingham and Warwickshire's Past This image showcases an extract from the Great Domesday Book, a historic document dating back to the late 11th century. This particular excerpt provides a record of the resources and taxable values of the boroughs and manors in Warwickshire, with a focus on the village of Birmingham. The Domesday Book, compiled under the orders of King William I of England, was a comprehensive survey of the realm, aimed at assessing the value and resources of the land for taxation purposes. This document is an invaluable source of information about the social, economic, and demographic conditions of England during the late 11th century. The village of Birmingham, as depicted in this extract, was a significant settlement in Warwickshire during this period. The entry lists various resources, including arable land, meadows, woodland, and mills, as well as the number of plough teams, livestock, and the value of the church and its possessions. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing us with valuable insights into the daily life, economy, and social structure of a medieval English village. The Domesday Book remains an essential resource for historians, archaeologists, and anyone interested in understanding the history and development of England during the Middle Ages.
