Norman Control of England
The survey showed how much England had changed since 1066.
Most important land was now owned by Norman nobles.
This demonstrated the success of William’s conquest.
A Wealthy Kingdom
The survey revealed that England was still a rich kingdom.
Agriculture was producing large amounts of food and wealth.
This provided William with valuable tax income.
Uneven Wealth

Areas with fertile farmland and thriving towns were often the wealthiest.
The survey helped William identify these valuable regions.
