A HISTORY OF ESSEX 



same as for Somerset, Buckinghamshire, and Nottinghamshire. The average for Ongar hundred is 

 only a little smaller: 38 per thousand acres. If similar calculations of tax density are made in terms of 

 shillings per thousand acres in 1334, Ongar hundred again appears within a few pence of the average 

 density for Essex (23^. ?id. as against 23^. ^d. for the county) and again at about the same average as 

 for Somerset, Buckinghamshire, and Nottinghamshire.^^
