Owing to the fact that the translation of the text of the Domesday Survey of Yorkshire was not in type when the earlier part of this volume was passing through the press, the references to that survey up to p. 356 have been given to the Facsimile of the Domesday Book, but after that page to the Translation printed in the Victoria County History (V.C.H. Yorks. Vol. II, pp. 191–327).
