Where was the Domesday book written?

Senior Moments

The Domesday Book was written with a goose quill on parchment made out of sheepskin that had been vigorously treated. Originally it was written in Latin the language of medieval scholars. The information was collected and collated at Winchester and copied up as a single volume by one writer. Norfolk, Essex and Suffolk were copied into a second volume and the surveys of several towns, including London, were not transcribed. http://www.smr.herefordshire.gov.uk/castles/hrfds_domesday.htm Jan 18 04, 4:33 PM
