Scintillating stuff, great read, a real page turner I couldn't put it down.

Yeah my Norman homies, word to your feudal lord, this is the Domesday Book online.
It is searchable by location. It must be incomplete, there is not a single reference therein to Skegvegas.

RANDOM ENTRY: EGTON, Yorkshire

Hundred: Langbaurgh
Area: North Riding
County: Yorkshire
Total tax assessment: 3 geld units (medium).

Value: Taxable value 3 geld units. Value to lord in 1066 £1.
Ploughland: 3 ploughlands (ploughs possible).
Other resources: Woodland 3 * 2 leagues.
Lord in 1066: Swein.
Lord in 1086: Nigel Fossard.
Tenant-in-chief in 1086: Count Robert of Mortain.


Shoot the scribe, his handwriting's brutal, I can hardly read that at all.

As my village didn't exist then, I've done the nearest village to my house, which doesn't exist today, but was sited in the fields behind my house.... The village was called Langene. They were doing alright back then, all the other local villages are on there and still there, I wonder why Langene died? http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TF4763/langene/

Our village church is over 700 years old, but no one knows the exact age, maybe it's left over from the 3 Langene churches...

I want a metal detector, and a wander round the fields.... and a chat with the farmer...

The Black Death? Clopelle survived that, just.

We have an old church too...one of the most famous in the UK to be exact.
