Description
This lesson is the eighth in our ten-part series on The Normans.
One of the most interesting parts of William’s reign was his creation of the Domesday book, and this is what forms the basis of this lesson.
Why did William send people round to villages to find out what England was worth?
What questions were being asked of everybody, everywhere, and what use was this to him?
Why is it called the Domesday book?
Your child will answer these questions and more using information they will gather from various sources, including research into your own village or a village local to you.
They will demonstrate their knowledge and understanding by completing source work, finding Domesday entries for places they’re interested in through independent research, and writing a basic description of what they feel William was like.
