The Red Book of Worcester is a survey of the Bishop of Worcester's manors made circa 1299. It was ordered by Bishop Godfrey Giffard and incorporated some earlier surveys. The original Latin manuscript has been lost but a transcription was made by antiquary William Thomas before 1738. A modern version based on this transcription has been published since 1934.
