Click to zoom
The Domesday Book – Cornwall is a county-specific volume from the monumental Domesday Book series, which presents the results of William the Conqueror’s great land survey of 1086. This edition, edited by John Morris and published by Phillimore in collaboration with The History Press, offers a detailed snapshot of landholding, population, and resources in Cornwall at the end of the 11th century.
The book includes a modern English translation alongside the original Latin text, making it accessible to both scholars and general readers. It reveals the names of landowners, the size and value of estates, and the structure of feudal society in Cornwall shortly after the Norman Conquest. As part of a wider series covering all English counties, this volume is an essential resource for local historians, genealogists, and anyone interested in medieval England.
