THIS millennium began with the Domesday Book, now a Hampshire village society is to mark the new millennium with a new one.
Titchfield History Society has decided to document a year in the life of the village to record its own version of the Domesday Book commissioned by William the Conqueror to see who owned what in England when he seized the throne in 1066.
On Saturday as many villagers as possible are being asked to gather in the village square to pose for a group photograph, recreating an old picture taken around 1890, of locals dressed up for carnival day.
A spokesman for the society said the project was a "mammoth task" but one which they wanted to do. "The book will be a Domesday Book, census, photographic album and retail price index combined,'' he said.
Other Titchfield millenni-um projects include a tape telling the history of the village from Saxon times.
