[Sca-cooks] William the Conquerors Domesday Book online

[Saint Phlip]

OK, I was looking through the information about the book, and found
the following line:

"The arable land was used to grow wheat, barley, oats and beans.
Domesday records over some 6000 mills to cope with the heavy work of
grinding the grain; these were all water mills as windmills did not
appear in England until the 12th century. "

What type of bean were they refering to?

Heat it up
Hit it hard
Repent as necessary.

It's the smith who makes the tools, not the tools which make the smith.
