Domesday Book is the earliest, and by far the most famous, English public record. It is the records the survey that William the Conqueror ordered to be taken at Christmas 1085. The 'Exeter Domesday' is a separate volume of records for Cornwall, Somerset and most of Devon. There is a lapse of about three generations before the next comprehensive series of public records begins. Reichel's paper is presented as "a contribution to the economic history of the cultivating classes in Domesday".
