Heritage

Wareham, Dorset
in the Domesday Book

"In Wareham in the time of King Edward there were 120 houses in the king's demesne. This vill was assessed for every service of the king and paid geld for 10 hides, that is, 1 silver mark for the king's housecarls excepting the customs which belonged to the farm of 1 knight. There were 2 moneyers each paying 1 silver mark to the king and 20s, when the coinage was changed. Now there are 70 houses, and 73 have been completely destroyed from the time of Hugh the sheriff."
