Excerpt from The Domesday Book for the County of Derby: Reprinted From "the Feudal History of the County of Derby," Chiefly During the 11th, 12th, and 13th Centuries However this may be, the Book of Domesday is the first account we possess of the tenures of English estates, and so far as regards Derbyshire, the only Comprehensive record for a considerable period. It is true that we shall find here and there in the Charters granted by the Crown to various religious houses, and in the Pipe Rolls, and in some of the earliest public records, and in occasional private charters, facts of importance to county history; but the first Class, Abbey Cartularies, are not cotem porary records, these documents having generally been com piled as late as the thirteenth century; and the writers of them had too much concern for the special interests of their orders to be invariably reliable, and as the earliest Charters recorded in their books must have perished before they were compiled, it is obvious that they can only have been handed down by tradition; indeed, the fact that before the Conquest writing was not employed in the transfer of land, seriously detracts from the little respect that can generally be accorded to them. That it was a fact, clear beyond dispute, that writing was not employed in land transfer, we may learn from the double system of conveyancing, that by Charter, and that by fine, with livery of seizin (without charter), which prevailed down to the time of Charles the Second.
