"Publication of Domesday Book The text of Domesday Book, the record of the great survey of England completed in 1086 executed for William I of England, was first edited by Abraham Farley in the 1770s. The first facsimile edition of the manuscripts was made in a project led by Henry James in the 1860s. An English translation of the Latin text for most counties was published by Victoria County History (VCH) during much of the 20th century. A new English translation of the entire text was prepared for the Phillimore Edition, published 1975–1992 for Phillimore & Co under the general"

"modern scholarly convention is to refer to the work as ""Domesday Book"" (or simply as ""Domesday""), without a definite article. However, the form ""the Domesday Book"" is also found in both academic and non-academic contexts.

The book received reviews in national and local periodicals, including one in ""The Athenaeum"" on 7 March 1885, which praised the meticulous referencing and described the history as ""able, clear and succinct"" and its author as ""conscientious and careful.""

England's growing wealth was critical in allowing the Norman kings to project power across the region, including funding campaigns along the frontiers of Normandy. At Christmas 1085, William ordered the compilation of a survey of the landholdings held by himself and by his vassals throughout the kingdom, organised by counties, a work now known as the Domesday Book.

Often considered an attempt to produce a second Domesday Book, they are named for the hundreds by which most returns were recorded.

It was hard work: Major Thomas Colby, the longest-serving Director General of Ordnance Survey, walked in 22 days on a reconnaissance in 1819.
