    DD - Episode 54 - Gloucester
    2025/10/31
    Gloucester: saints, sheriffs, and the bright fort by the Severn. From Roman Colonia Glevum to Æthelflæd’s Mercian power-base and the Norman ledger of Domesday, this episode traces how one city was rebuilt in stone, faith, and finance. We follow Æthelflæd, the Lady of the Mercians, bringing the relics of St Oswald to Gloucester and turning a burh into a pilgrimage centre and royal mausoleum. Then we slip into everyday life: hunting and hawking, impromptu horse races, unruly mob football, tavern dice, and quiet board games in cloisters and inns. Finally, we ask what endures: the difference between walls that protect and walls that command, and the stubborn fact that people persist beneath every new regime. Gloucester’s layers still shine through the centuries, from honey and iron to pounds and pence, from saint’s shrine to sheriff’s tower.

    DD - Episode 52 - Special - York
    2025/08/19
    One year of Domesday Delving! To mark the occasion, we’re tackling one of the great titans of the survey: the City of York.

    In 1086 York sprawls across two full pages of Domesday, a record of a city scarred by rebellion, half-emptied by the Harrying of the North, and reshaped by Norman castles. In this special episode, we look at York before the Conquest, dig into Domesday’s tangle of messuages, priests, usurpers and French settlers, and explore what happens when two legal systems — Anglo-Saxon and Norman — collide. Along the way we follow rabbit holes into William’s double-castle strategy, the devastation of the Harrying, and the shifting laws that made whole villages pay for a Norman’s death.
