A hundred, or merely ninety-nine?

This is all very interesting. I searched in vain for a good definition of a 'hundred' a while back, so I'm pleased with the definition you put up. Regarding Stretton - as far as I understand it, it is currently the property of the King, and thus called The Royal Manor of Church Stretton (or possibly The Royal Manor of Stretton-en-le-Vale.)

If it is a royal manor, then I would assume that the bailiff of the hundred has no authority there, as the bailiff answers directly to his lord (the castellan), who answers to the King.

Is it part of the hundred if tht is so?

I'll do some more digging tonight. I have some interesting sources, especially the notes about later period changes in the back of the Domesday book for the county. --OldNick\\Talk 10:22, 22 March 2006 (PST)

Thanks, that would be good. If it isn't a Royal Manor, it changes the local politics greatly. --James\\Talk 18:55, 22 March 2006 (PST)
