Domesday book was compiled by a team of inspectors acting for king William I in 1086, taking only months to gather the information. It was actually two books: Great Domesday, covering 31 counties and Little Domesday, covering only 3 (but in much greater detail).
The record was kept secure as an official document in the king's treasury at Winchester; when the treasury was moved to Westminster in the 12th century, the Domesday record went with it.
Today it is kept in the Public Records Office at Kew.

There is a widespread belief that people did not bathe in the Middle Ages. This myth arises because bathing went out of practice during the Renaissance, when people worried that it was unhealthy and rich people could afford perfume. Since we have a tendency to regard the Renaissance as a period of improvement, we often ascribe anything about it that was unpleasant to the Middle Ages. During most of the Middle Ages, however, people regarded cleanliness as next to godliness, and kept themselves very clean. There is a link below.
