Tuesday's Herald had a story about a new online version of the Domesday Book.
The article in the Herald online links to The Domesday Book Online which is not the searchable database that is the subject of the article (although it is an informative website about the Domesday Book).
The database in question is available from the UK Data Archive. Although it is free, registration is first required to download the data which is available either as tab-delimited files or a Microsoft Access database. Having downloaded the files, you will then be able to track down the elusive free man Swartrik, or discover where in Kent you can evade the fine for adultery.
