The Domesday Book: A Glimpse into 11th Century Sussex This extract from the Domesday Book, a meticulous record of the resources and taxable values of the boroughs and manors in Sussex during the late 11th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into England's rich historical past. Dated around 1085, this invaluable document was commissioned by William the Conqueror to assess the extent of his new realm and establish a systematic taxation system. The Domesday Book, specifically this section focusing on Sussex, is a testament to the comprehensive survey undertaken by the king's officials. It lists the names of landowners, the size and quality of their holdings, and the value of their livestock, crops, and other assets. The document also provides details about the boroughs, including their markets, churches, and mills. This excerpt from the Great Domesday Book reveals the intricacies of the administrative system in place during the 11th century, showcasing the efficiency and organization of the English bureaucracy. The Domesday Book remains an essential historical resource, providing valuable insights into the socio-economic conditions of the time and offering a unique perspective into the lives of the people of Sussex during the Middle Ages.
