Most of the counties of England were divided into hundreds or wapentakes from the late Anglo-Saxon period and these were, with a few exceptions, effectively abandoned as administrative divisions in the 19th century.{{cite book |last1= Webb |first1= Sidney |author-link1=Sidney Webb |last2=Webb |first2=Beatrice |author-link2=Beatrice Webb |title=English Local Government from the Revolution to the Municipal Corporations Act: the parish and the county |url= https://archive.org/details/englishlocalgove01webbuoft |publisher= Longmans Green and Company |location=London |pages=[https://archive.org/details/englishlocalgove01webbuoft/page/284 284]–285|year= 1906}}

Hampshire
The Domesday Survey mentions 44 hundreds in Hampshire,[https://opendomesday.org/county/hampshire/ Open Domesday: Hampshire]. Accessed 22 November 2020. recorded as HanteScire and abbreviated as Hante.[https://opendomesday.org/book/hampshire/09/ Open Domesday: Hampshire folio 9]. Accessed 22 November 2020. By the 14th century the number had been reduced to 37. The hundreds of East Medina and West Medina in the Isle of Wight are mentioned in 1316. The Isle of Wight obtained a county council of its own in 1890 and became a full ceremonial county in 1974.
Hampshire has in the past been named Southamptonshire and is so recorded in the Commonwealth Instrument of Government, 1653. The name of the administrative county was changed from 'County of Southampton' to 'County of Hampshire' on 1 April 1959. The short form of the name, often used in postal addresses, is Hants.
The 44 Domesday-era hundreds were: Amesbury, Andover, Ashley, Barton, Basingstoke, Bermondspit, Bosbarrow, Bosham, Bountisborough, Bowcombe, Brightford, Broughton, Buddlesgate, Calbourne, Chalton, Charldon, Chuteley, Crondall, Droxford, East Meon, Edgegate, Evingar, Falemere, Fareham, Farringdon, Fawley, Fordingbridge, Hoddington, Holdshott, Hurstbourne, Kingsclere, Mansbridge, Meonstoke, Micheldever, Neatham, Odiham, Overton, Portsdown, Redbridge, Ringwood, Somborne, Titchfield, Waltham, Welford

Kent
File:Kent Administrative Map 1832.png
From Kent Genealogy [http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mrawson/ 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.

In 1857 the provisions of the Act of 9 Geo. IV were invoked to re-examine the whole structure of Lathes and their divisions in providing for the administration of justice. The Lower Division of the Lathe of Scray, which formed the southernmost part of the Lathe, became part of West Kent, and consisted of the following Hundreds:

Leicestershire
Leicestershire was originally divided into four wapentakes, but these were usually later described as hundreds. From the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica{{cite EB1911 |wstitle=Leicestershire |volume=16 |page=394}} after 1346 the six hundreds were:
In the Domesday Book, West Goscote and East Goscote made up just Goscote and Sparkenhoe did not yet exist. The division which brought East and West Goscote and Sparkenhoe into existence was made in 1346.
Lincolnshire
Lincolnshire was divided into three Parts, each of which was divided into wapentakes, analogous to hundreds.
