#domesdaybook

A near contemporary source for Hereward is Domesday Book (1086) where the entries for a Hereward in South Lincolnshire in 1066 are universally accepted as being the same Hereward cited in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for 1071. Curiously though, Hereward is not named as the holder of a manor at Bourne (Linc's) where the Gesta Herwardi states he was lord.

In this field, to the southwest of Greatford in #Lincolnshire, or at least nearby, once stood the village of Banthorpe. The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as having stood in the hundred of Ness and the county of Lincolnshire. It had a recorded population of 13.5 households in 1086 (NB: 13.5 households is an estimate, since multiple places are mentioned in the same entry), and is listed under 4 owners in #domesdaybook. Today the village has vanished completely. The date it vanished is unclear, but it had certainly gone by about 1450. While the reasons for this are not known, other villages in Lincolnshire that were abandoned at about the same time fell victim to sheep. In the wake of the massive death toll of the Black Death the wages of agricultural workers went up, making arable farming unprofitable for landlords. At the same time more and more jobs were being created in towns and cities as industrialisation began to take a grip. The upshot was that peasants wanted to move to towns at the same time as landowners wanted the peasants off their land so that they could run sheep over what had once been fields of crops – and harvest the profitable wool for export to mainland Europe. But the name of the village lives on in the shape of Banthorpe Lodge, off Greatford Road. Banthorpe Lodge is a seventeenth century farmhouse, which was raised and altered in the late eighteenth century, and altered again the nineteenth century. It is constructed of limestone rubble and has a Collyweston slate roof. It has an L-shaped plan and two storeys. #archaeology (at Stamford, Lincolnshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfV2osejcJu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

View of the Downs from Bepton Church. In Domesday Book as Bebintone with 10 villagers, 10 smallholders and 3 slaves. During the Black Death a mass grave pit was dug here. Still not much at Church Farm - the majority of the village is down the road.

Great training session with @julianmilesstantonkirk and @story.of.wine @nyetimber - not only a superb wine, but an extraordinarily interesting history of the house and estate- going back to #domesdaybook , #henrytheviii Very proud to be pouring by the glass! #perfectlybritish #fivefields #kingsroad #chelsea #sw3 #taylorbonnyman #michelinstar #goingoutlondon #sommlife (at The Five Fields) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvR8Wn7nkSF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ij8on5l7hg7a

Bit of a lark here. I was trying to do a bit of research about the translation of #Beowulf by #frederickrebsamen and came upon this one-star review on Amazon (as one does). I passionately had to have my say, hit submit, and did not think to check the original review date. 2000! Seems like several lifetimes ago. The internet is a weird weird version of the #domesdaybook . PS couldnt quite get the full screenshots to fit, but you get the gist.
