The Brits may be all reservedness upfront but really they’re a fekin hyperbolic and intense bunch of people. I’ve been watching tons of old Time Team episodes and after hearing what must have been the 30th reference to a point in time known only as “Doomsday” I googled it.
It’s a frickin land census, sure an old one 1086 and a massive one but these people call a census Doomsday!
btw it’s spelled “Domesday” which also proves not to trust the Brits on spelling or pronunciation.

The Domesday Survey of 1086 assessed Cirencester as follows:
“The King’s land in Cirencestre hundred, king Edward held 5 hides of land. There in demesne are 5 plough and 31 villeins with 10 ploughs. There are 13 serfs and 10 bordars, and 3 mills worth 30 schillings and meadows and woods worth 50 schillings ... It pays £20 5 schillings, 20 cows 20 pigs and from the new market 20 schillings ...”
In 1189 King Richard II sold his manor at Cirencester to the Abbey for £100. Byt the end of the 12 century this abbey and a castle dominated the town. The castle was apparently strengthened in 1142, but destroyed in 1216.
The map shown is a map of 15th century Cirencester. The Medieval town was smaller than its Roman counterpart, with half of all the enclosed land belonging to the Abbey.
