Excerpt from The Great Domesday Book of Ipswich; Liber Sextus: With an Introduction to the Entire Volume, Full Notes and a Commentary; With a Brief Account of the Earlier Little Domesday Books Belonging to the Same Town
The ancient Borough of Ipswich, besides possessing a rather remarkable and extensive collection of Rolls, Charters and Letters Patent, Deeds, both private and municipal, as well as other miscellaneous writings of varied' worth, is fortunate in having among the town Archives, several books, both written and printed, Which are of special value and importance, alike to the antiquary and historian, and of no small account in the eyes of the intelligent burgess, Who rightly regards each as a link in the silver chain that connects the present With the past. The interest Which attaches to these volumes may be said mainly to centre in those, known respectively as the N ew' or 'great' Domesday and the 'old' or 'little' Domesday Book, concerning Which, and especially the former, I desire to draw attention.
The ancient laws and customs of Ipswich, dating from a very early period of the town's constitution and history, were originally contained in certain Rolls, once the cherished inheritance of our forefathers, but Which, alas! Were in the 56th year of the reign of Henry III.
