In 1086, Wiltshire was counted, taxed and bound into parchment. Here that world speaks again. This meticulous Domesday Book translation gathers every entry for 11th century Wiltshire England, turning terse Latin formulae into clear English and revealing, estate by estate, the impact of the Norman conquest land survey on villages, churches, manors and English feudal landholdings. For anyone fascinated by medieval England Domesday records and Wiltshire county history, Wyndham's classic study opens the door to one of the greatest medieval historical records ever compiled. Arranged with a full index that adapts ancient place-names to their modern forms, the volume is an essential reference for local historians and a richly detailed sourcebook for genealogists tracing medieval Wiltshire genealogy and land descent. Manors, hundreds, tenants-in-chief and subtenants can be followed across the county landscape, making this a natural companion to the Victoria County History Wiltshire volumes and to any serious English county history series. The substantial preface outlines a plan for a comprehensive narrative of the county, linking raw survey data to the later evolution of Wiltshire society, settlement and power. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this landmark study is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint, it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure for libraries, scholars, family historians and curious readers alike - an enduring gateway into the fierce, formative world of Norman Wiltshire.
