Can you name the most populous cities and towns of England under the rule of William the Conqueror with a population of over 1,000 in 1086?

Goodness! Thetford? How far thou hast fallen. Steyning too. I hadn't even heard of Milton Regis.

Yep. This was before the most important British urban centres shifted up north, which only had a handful of larger settlements at this point in time. A lot of counties didn't have settlements that would pass a figure of about 700 people at time either.
