Salisbury Domesday Books, 1413-1478, edited by John Chandler and Douglas Crowley
This is the second of three volumes to be devoted to the Salisbury Domesday Books, which form part of the Salisbury city muniments, now deposited in the Wiltshire & Swindon Archives. Although three books, the first, second and fourth, have been lost, four survive. The third and fifth were edited as volume 75 in the Wiltshire Record Society series, published in 2022. This volume is an edition of the sixth and seventh books (excluding the summary list prefixed to the sixth book, which was edited in the first volume). It covers the period 1413 to 1478, and includes nine earlier documents. A third volume will attempt a synthesis of Salisbury's medieval topography derived from these and other sources. The Salisbury Domesday Books consist of transcripts of charters, deeds, wills and other documents transacted in the bishop of Salisbury's court relevant to the transfer of property in medieval Salisbury. Thir value for the student of Salisbury’s medieval topography and social history cannot be overestimated. Published on behalf of the Wiltshire Record Society (volume 77), December 2024, xiii, 296 pages, hardback, £20.00, ISBN 978-0-901333-54-4.
