Boldon Book: Northumberland and Durham is often considered the equivalent of the Domesday Book for the northern counties of England. Compiled in 1183 for the Bishop of Durham, it provides a detailed survey of land ownership, economic activity, and social structures in Northumberland and Durham. Unlike the Domesday Book, which was completed in 1086, the Boldon Book offers insights into the development of settlements and feudal obligations nearly a century later.

This historical reference is invaluable for genealogists and historians studying medieval England, as it records the names of landholders, their duties, and the economic conditions of the time.
