A landmark work in English historical scholarship, Domesday Book: 26 Cheshire presents a meticulously edited and translated edition of the original 1086 survey commissioned by William the Conqueror for the county of Cheshire. Edited by John Morris as part of the celebrated Phillimore series, this volume details the landholdings, tenants, resources, and administrative structures of Cheshire as recorded in one of the most important documents in medieval history. The text is presented in both the original Latin and a clear English translation on facing pages, making it accessible to both academic historians and dedicated amateur researchers alike. With scholarly notes and indexes, it illustrates the social and economic landscape of post-Conquest England with remarkable precision, chronicling the names of landholders, the values of manors, and the distribution of power across the county. An indispensable reference for genealogists, local historians, and medievalists, this volume stands as an authoritative gateway into the Norman reorganization of English society.
