Agriculture formed the bulk of the English economy at the time of the Norman invasion. Twenty years after the invasion, 35% of England was covered in arable land, 25% put to pasture, with 15% covered by woodlands and the remaining 25% predominantly being moorland, fens and heaths. Wheat formed the single most important arable crop, but rye, barley and oats were also cultivated extensively.

Wheat, barley, oats and rye. As you require 'informative sources' for your 'research' don't you think you should be researching this topic yourself rather than asking a bunch of anonymous strangers on Y!A? There are plenty of well researched books and websites available.
