Domesday Book, first published in 1086, has atttracted intense scrutiny particularly since the ninth centenary celebrations and the publication of new editions and modern translations by both Alecto Historical Editions and Phillimore. Facsimiles, translations, maps and apparatus are now readily available on CD-ROM. Never before has it been possible to explore the intricacies of this infinitely detailed text so deeply, nor to extract from it such a wealth of information about medieval England.

The Story of Domesday Book is a richly rewarding collection of special studies by outstanding Domesday scholars of our time. The contents list speaks for itself:

 The Life of the Manor - Barbara F. Harvey

 The Monetary System under William I - Phillip Grierson
 Weights and Measures - Philip Grierson
 The Economies of Domesday England - John McDonald and G.D. Snooks
 Apparent Repetitions in Domesday Book - Ann Williams
