Probably the early settlements here were sparse, and this would account for the subdivision of areas suggested by the names Brent Pelham, Furneux Pelham, and Stock- ing Pelham and Much and Little Hadham. In the i 3th century there was still a large amount of woodland in these parishes. The total assessment of the hun- dred in 1086 seems to have been for I 20 hides. The exact amount, how- ever, is difficult to estimate, owing to the doubt that arises about the in- clusion of several places within it.' Widford, which is entered under Edwinstree in 1086 but is now a parish in Braughing Hundred, lies on the border of Edwinstree Hundred, and there is no reason why it should not have been included in it in 1086. Cockhamstead also, an estate in the parish of Braughing, adjoins the parish of Albury in this hundred and may have been originally reckoned within it. An estate in Hoddesdon, however, which is given under Edwinstree in 1086, can scarcely be entered correctly under that hundred, as it is separated from it by the hundred of Braughing, and the other holdings there are given under Hertford Hundred. On the other hand an estate of 5 hides in Anstey is entered under Odsey Hundred, but, as Anstey does not adjoin Odsey Hundred and another holding there is ^ Pop. Ret.
