At six pages this document is a result of much research by Dr. Talbot and presents a unique record of both the entry for Penkhull, and to place this into context with that of its neighbouring settlements, shows that the village of Penkhull was the largest in wealth because of its land in the district containing around eleven hundred acres.
Over the centuries, there has been an argument as to why the town of Newcastle under Lyme was not mentioned, all of which can be dismissed as here it is recorded under Trentham which the entry of Domesday there is a description in medieval terms of measurement and wealth and importantly who was the tenant under the Lordship of King William. Certainly, an important and impressive document to any study of Domesday containing all the areas of the necessary research to provide a conclusive document.
