The Domesday Book has long been used as a source of information
about legal and economic matters, but its bearing upon the
geography of medieval England has been comparatively neglected. The
extraction of geographical information involves problems of
interpretation, since it necessitates an analysis into elements and
their subsequent reconstruction on a geographical basis. But this
process makes available otherwise unobtainable evidence for forming
a general picture of the relative prosperity of different areas, as
well as data for the comparative study of varying geographic and
economic factors. This volume contains chapters on Wiltshire,
Dorset, Somerset, Devonshire, Cornwall and a concluding chapter on
the south-western counties.
