When was the first u k census taken?

The first full census of England which attempted to list every resident by name was taken in 1801. The information requested was, I believe, names, ages, relationships and occupations of the people residing at the address on a specific night. The census was taken by personal interviews, I think, because many people at the time would not have been able to read or write. The first census of England was the Domesday Book, compiled in 1086 for tax purposes, but this only listed landowners by name. People of lesser status were enumerated only as a 'taxable resource' (and this probably only applied to males capable of being called upon for military service).
