Domesday Rook

Domesday Rook
A famous book in two volumes published during the reign of William the Conqueror and finished a short time before his death in 1087. The book contained the great survey of all England, except the counties of Cumberland, Northumberland, Durham, and part of Lancashire, and of all the manors held in ancient demesne, and it came to be of great value and assistance in the establishment of land titles. The book is said to have received its name because it was as general and conclusive as the last judgment will be. See 1 Bl Comm 49, 99; 3 Bl Comm 331.
