England Under the Norman Occupation (Classic Reprint) James F Morgan

Publisher Marketing: Excerpt from England Under the Norman Occupation This little work is an attempt to give the results of a careful perusal of the record called Domesday, which - as an early description of the very fields we cultivate - ought to be a never-failing source of interest, and subject of enquiry. A complete examination of the structure of that glorious old monument would be too great an undertaking for an individual; and yet, such an examination ought to be made, as an introduction to the study of English Rural Antiquities. We are assured that, by the help of Fleta and various ancient land-rolls, we might construct a tolerably accurate picture of an English manor, as it existed in the twelfth or thirteenth century.
