I heard Huncoat is actually mentioned in this ancient book.The Doomsday book was an inventory initiated by William the Conquerer and is basically a list of all the assets of this country at this time! I think?OK Huncoat isn't Accrington but it's the darndest thing to it! But I havnt read this book and don't know how one goes about it but I think, they told us at school that Huncoat was mentioned in there!? If Church was anything major in the 7th then that would be mentioned in the book as it is a list of everything worth something partly for tax purposes etc.
