Medieval

During the Medieval period (1066 to 1485 AD) Liverpool was a small fishing village. One of the earliest and most important Medieval documents is the Domesday Book (1086), in which West Derby was listed as a royal manor with a castle, but Liverpool was not mentioned by name.

Finds suggest that the Roman port of Meols in Wirral would still have been important in the Medieval period.
