THE HUNDRED OF MEONSTOKE 



CONTAINING THE PARISHES OF 



CORHAMPTON 



MEONSTOKE 



SOBERTON 



WARNFORD 



The above list represents the extent of the hundred at the time of the 

 Population Returns of 1831. The parishes of West Meon, Exton, and 

 Bramdean, and part of the parish of Upharn, were added to the hundred 

 before 1841, and probably at the same time the tithing of Burwell in 

 Hambledon parish was transferred to the hundred of Hambledon, and the 

 tithing of Liss Abbas in the parish of Liss to the hundred of Finchdean. 1 

 The tithing of Westbury 

 and Peak in the parish 

 of East Meon was re- 

 moved to the hundred 

 of East Meon at some 

 later date. 



At the time of the 

 Domesday Survey the 

 hundred included the 

 parishes of Abbott's 

 Worthy, 2 Alverstoke, 8 

 Corhampton, 4 Exton, 6 

 Hambledon, 6 Liss, 7 

 Meonstoke, 8 Soberton, 9 

 Warnford, 10 and West 

 Meon 11 and the tithing 

 of Westbury, 13 in the 

 parish of East Meon. 



The land comprising 

 the hundred was assessed 

 in the reign of Edward 



the Confessor at 89 hides, and at the time of the survey at about 56 hides 

 By the beginning of the fourteenth century the area of the hundred had 

 much decreased. West Meon, Exton, Alverstoke, Abbott's Worthy, a large 

 part of the parish of Hambledon, and the tithing of Liss Turney in the 

 parish of Liss had been removed, and in 1316 the hundred comprised the
