The Domesday Boroughs is a historical book written by Adolphus Ballard in 1904. The book provides a detailed account of the Domesday survey, which was conducted in 1086 by William the Conqueror to assess the wealth and resources of his newly conquered kingdom. The focus of the book is on the Domesday survey of the boroughs, which were the early urban centers of England. The author examines the history and development of these boroughs, their economic and social importance, and their role in the Norman conquest of England. The book is divided into chapters, each focusing on a specific borough and its history. The author uses primary sources such as the Domesday Book, charters, and other historical documents to provide a comprehensive and detailed account of each borough. Overall, The Domesday Boroughs is a valuable resource for historians, scholars, and anyone interested in medieval English history. It provides a unique insight into the early urbanization of England and the impact of the Norman conquest on its development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
