The county of Buckingham was divided into eighteen hundreds at the 

 time of Domesday Survey. At the close of the I3th century, however, they 

 had become consolidated into eight groups of three hundreds.' Of the older 

 divisions, the Hundreds of Aylesbury, Risborough, and Stone formed the Three 

 Hundreds of Aylesbury, containing twenty-seven parishes. 8 



Practically no change has taken place in the bounds of the Three Hun- 

 dreds since Domesday Book, but the parishes of Cuddington, Little 

 Hampden, Hulcott, and Lee are not named in the Survey. 4 Marlow, 

 however, seems to have been included under the Hundred of Stone in the 

 entry of Walter de Vernon's lands, but this was probably merely an omission 

 of the heading of Desborough Hundred,' since elsewhere in the Survey 

 Marlow is placed in the last-mentioned hundred." The Liberty of Brand's
