The original Domesday book is now available online including the original latin text and it’s translation. The book detailed the landholdings and resources that belonged to the King William the Conqueror in 1086.
On the site you are able to search a place name and see the index entry made for the town, city or village.
The Focus on Domesday part of the project helps teachers and pupils find out more about the book itself.
The only downside is that you need to pay a one-off charge of £3.50 per location to get the full information, but to be honest it’s worth it.
