One of the most tenacious and long-running controversies regarding
the origin and development of the late Anglo-Saxon town has been
the nature and function of 'heterogeneous tenure', one of the
defining characteristics of the Domesday borough. This refers to
the basic division of the larger boroughs as described in Domesday
Book into the customary burgesses or tenements which owed dues and
obligations to the king alone, and the non-customary burgesses or
tenements which were appurtenant to the various manors of
tenants-in-chief of the shire (and sometimes neighbouring shires)
to whom they paid rent and owed other dues and services. This
present study outlines a preliminary model for the development of
these rural-urban connections, based primarily on a reassessment of
the evidence in Domesday Book and in earlier charters, where
available, and the spatial relationships of the manors enumerated
in it to their central boroughs, their neighbours, and to shire and
other early boundaries, as well as to other features of the
physical and historic landscape. This model is developed and tested
by the analysis of evidence from several adjoining areas in central
England - 1) Wiltshire (chapters 2 and 3); 2) Hampshire (chapter
4); 3) Warwickshire and south Staffordshire (chapter 5); 4)
Gloucestershire (including the former Winchcombeshire) (chapter 6);
5) Worcestershire (chapter 7); and 6) Oxfordshire, Berkshire and
Buckinghamshire (chapters 10-12).
