−	Modern day villages can also be formed from groupings of ancient settlements that have become aggregated over time, hence the term 'composite' villages that are composed of several distinct parts which have become joined by development. Some villages today are actually linked clusters of what were once hamlets or individual farmsteads. Examples of this can be seen at Paston in Norfolk, Rodhuish in Somerset and Carlton in Cumbria. One way of investigating the origins of such communities is to refer back to the Domesday Book from 1086 which contained records for 13,418 settlements in the English counties south of the rivers Ribble and Tees (the border with Scotland at the time).
