Land Grants by William the Conqueror
« on: Saturday 23 June 12 01:26 BST (UK) »
How may I learn to whom William the Conqueror gave land grants in County Durham/Northumberland?   Thankyou, in advance, to anyone who can assist.

At a guess, try the Victoria County History, should be in local library, some are digitised, see http://www.victoriacountyhistory.ac.uk/

Domesday does not cover either county; apparently there is a separate book, Boldon Book, that covers Durham and parts of Northumberland.

Hope this helps a bit
