  • Chapter II Normans and Plantagenets
    Chapter Two NORMANS AND PLANTAGENETS : 1086-1485 THE DOMESDAY BOOK . OCHDALE'S written history begins in 1086, when William the Conqueror sent his men all over England to find out how much land was being cultivated and how much revenue he might expect R to collect : the result was the Domesday (or Doomsday) Book, so called because of its uncompromising thoroughness and detail . Its two volumes, written in crabbed Latin, with words occasionally scored through in red for emphasis, instead of being underlined, are now displayed at the Public Record Office, London . One can imagine the difficulties of the Norman inspectors : how unwillingly and in what various dialects the English land-holders gave their answers when the " day of reckoning " came upon them . Perhaps this may account for the fact that "Rochdale" is set down as " Recedham ." It was probably then, as we still hear it today, pro- rounced as " Ratchda ' " with a long " a," and a soft Cheshire " c." Very freely translated and abbreviated, this is the gist of the Domesday entry concerning Rochdale as it was in the time of Edward the Confessor (1042-1066), excluding such details as the King's personal property and lands in the Salford Hundred : King Edward held Salford . To this Hundred belonged 21 manors held by as many thanes ; in which there were 112 hides and 102 carucates of land . Camel, a tenant of 2 of these hides in Recedham, was free of all customs but these six : theft, housebreaking, premeditated assault, breach of the peace, not answering the reeve's summons, and 1 4 ROCHDALE RETROSPECT continuing a fight after swearing on oath to desist .
