Diary

The idea of producing Damerham’s own Domesday Book as part of the Millennium celebration was conceived at a meeting in the village hall in the summer of 1998. The premise for the book was quite simple, why not capture a snapshot of Damerham at the eve of the new Millennium?

From small acorns large trees certainly do grow!

What started as a simple factual record of the households and residents of the village has grown into this wonderful book, still called the Domesday Book, but encompassing much, much more.

The Damerham Domesday Book 2000 contains a record of the households and the residents, their occupations, interests, thoughts about village life in the year 2000 and their aspirations for the future. Imagine what fascinating reading it would have made had the residents of Damerham produced such a book in the year 1900.

We are pleased to be able to make the Domesday Book 2000 available to read online or to down load. It is in pdf format and it is quite large! The complete Domesday Book is 26 Megabytes so may take some time to download (especially if you have a dial up connection). We have broken the book down in to sections so you can download a section at a time.
