Parish’s Edition of the Domesday Book
Parish appears to have enjoyed editing the Sussex Domesday Book. This
letter to a friend, enclosing a copy of the book, gives an indication of Parish’s sense of humour. It reads:
My dear Pennant
I have great pleasure in sending you by parcel post a copy of (Sussex) Domesday book –
It would be affectation to deny that I received valuable assistance in the Compilation thereof from the old friend of our schooldays W. Conqueror.
Yours sincerely
W D Parish
