Each hundred had a 'fyrd', which acted as the local defence force and a court which was responsible for the maintenance of the frankpledge system.[1] They also formed a unit for the collection of taxes.[2] The role of the hundred court was described in the Dooms (laws) of King Edgar. The name of the hundred was normally that of its meeting-place.[3] The Hundred was formed mainly from parishes previously in the ancient Domesday hundred of Abdick.[4] The Hundred of Abdick and Bulstone contained the parishes of Ashill, Beer Crocome, Bickenhall, Broadway, Buckland Street, Curland, Curry Mallet, Curry Rivel, Donyatt, Drayton, Earnshill, Fivehead, Ilminster, Puckington, South Bradon, Swell and Whitelackington.[5] The Hundred contained {{convert|38,575|acres}}, had a population of 12,047 according to the 1851 census, and housed at least 2,498 houses.[6] The importance of the hundred courts declined from the seventeenth century. By the 19th century several different single-purpose subdivisions of counties, such as poor law unions, sanitary districts, and highway districts sprang up, filling the administrative role previously played by parishes and hundreds. Although the Hundreds have never been formally abolished, their functions ended with the establishment of county courts in 1867[7] and the introduction of districts by the Local Government Act 1894.[8] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/types/status_page.jsp?unit_status=Hundred |title=Administrative Units Typology | Status definition: Hundred |publisher=Vision of Britain |date= |accessdate=2010-01-31}} {{Hundreds of Somerset}}2. ^{{cite web|title=The Shire and the Hundred|url=http://www1.somerset.gov.uk/archives/ASH/Shirehundred.htm|publisher=Somerset County Council|accessdate=13 October 2011}} 3. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.ucl.ac.uk/archaeology/project/assembly/summary.htm | title=Summary | publisher=Institute of Archaeology| accessdate=15 October 2011}} 4. ^Open Domesday Online: Abdick Hundred, accessed September 2018. 5. ^{{cite web|title=ABDICK AND BULSTONE Hundred Through Time |url=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/relationships.jsp?u_id=10133830 |work=A Vision of Britain Through Time |accessdate=9 September 2011 |deadurl=yes }} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Abdick and Bulstone in South Somerset|url=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/place/place_page.jsp?p_id=21175|work=A Vision Britain Through Time|accessdate=9 September 2011}} 7. ^County Courts Act 1867 (30 & 31 Vict. c. 142) s.28 8. ^Mapping the Hundreds of England and Wales in GIS University of Cambridge Department of Geography, published 06-06-08, accessed 2011-10-12 1 : Hundreds of Somerset |
