Little Domesday Book can give us important clues about the changes in tenurial<br />

patterns. From my other primary sources, for example from the Pipe Rolls <strong>and</strong> the<br />

Cartae Baronum, it is possible to get some idea of the many changes over the<br />

subsequent century. As well as sometimes containing information on l<strong>and</strong>holdings,<br />

the monastic <strong>and</strong> episcopal documents can help to illuminate changes in the<br />

ecclesiastical structure of the region.<br />
