Extract

A notion seems generally to have prevailed, that where neither Ecclesia nor Presbyter is entered in a clause of Domesday Book, it may be inferred that at the time the survey was made there was not a church in any of the districts to which the clauses refer. The late bishop Lyttelton and doctor Nash have countenanced this idea, and the silence of this venerable record is considered by Mr. Pegge as a formidable answer to the reasons advanced by Mr. Brooke to shew, that the church of Aldbrough in Yorkshire was a Saxon building.
