Kent

From Kent Genealog
Kent Genealogy England
Early Medieval Kent was traditionally divided into East and West Kent, and into lathes and hundreds. The hundreds contained parishes and portions of parishes. In many regions of England as well as Kent, an entire parish would be within one hundred, yet especially along rivers and estuaries which had previously seen invasion, the Kentish hundreds were smaller in area and "shared" parishes to institutionalize resiliency and collective responsibility for defence and justice.

Due to a judicial administrative reform in the mid-19th century, the some hundreds of the Lathe of Scray were moved from East Kent administration to West Kent administration: Lathe of Shepway The Lathe of Shepway also included the Cinque Port Liberty of New Romney in
