Bk The above text appears at the beginning of the entry for the township of Dilworth in A History of the County of Lancaster: Volume 7 (published by Victoria County History, London, 1912). In the winter of 1085 William I of England commissioned the Domesday Book, a survey of land holdings and resources in England. During the 1990s, Professor J.J.N. Palmer and a team at the University of Hull began a project to geocode and standardise each entry in the Domesday Book. In 2011 the data from this project was made available on the ‘Open Domesday’ website. Dilworth [House], a settlement, appears on the Open Domesday website as ‘Bileuurde’ (10th row from the top, after ‘Ribelcastre’ or Ribchester): Source: CC-BY-SA licence Professor John Palmer, George Slater and https://opendomesday.org At the time of the Domesday Book Dilworth was located in the hundred of Amounderness and the county of Yorkshire.
