It represents the first survey of settlements north of the Tees in the area left out of King William I's great compilation. It was a statistical survey of England in 1086 that was unmatched in Europe for many centuries. Bold Book of 1183, goes some way towards filling the gap left by the absence of Northumberland and Durham form Doomsday Book and so is included in this series, as Volume 35, thus making this fundamental source cheaply and easily available for local historians and schools, and for scholars generally, for the first time in 800 years." ; History From the Sources Series; Vol. 35; 6.14 X 0.29 X 7.86 inches; 96 pages .
