A fundamental part of English heritage, the Domesday Book is unique in medieval history, recording an entire country and its inhabitants town by town, with over 12,500 entries. In this lavishly illustrated book, Elizabeth Hallam and Thomas Hinde examine the background to the nine-hundred-year-old document, setting the events of 1086 into the context of the medieval world. It is a remarkable tribute to English continuity that almost all of the Domesday settlements still exist in some form or another.
Thomas Hinde Books
Thomas Hinde was a British novelist whose work offered a keen examination of British society and its social dynamics. His narratives often delved into themes of alienation, personal failure, and the quest for identity within the context of post-war Britain. Hinde's distinctive style was characterized by sharp observation and a dry wit, through which he captured the complexities of human relationships and societal expectations. Following his career in fiction, he also authored non-fiction works focusing on English stately homes, gardens, and court life.
