Hundreds of Derbyshire information


The Hundreds of Derbyshire were the geographic divisions of the historic county of Derbyshire for administrative, military and judicial purposes. They were established in Derbyshire some time before the Norman conquest. In the Domesday Survey of 1086 AD the hundreds were called wapentakes.[1] By 1273 the county was divided into 8 hundreds with some later combined, becoming 6 hundreds over the following centuries.[2] The Local Government Act 1894 replaced hundreds with districts.[3] Derbyshire is now divided into 8 administrative boroughs within the Derbyshire County Council area.[4]
