. The Victoria history of the county of Hertford. Natural history. THE HUNDRED OF BRAUGHING BISHOP'S STORTFORD BRAUGHING EASTWrCK GILSTON HUNSDON SAWBRIDGEWORTH STANDON STANSTEAD ABBOTS THORLEY THUNDRIDGE WARE WESTMILL WIDFORD Braughing Hundred is large in area in proportion to the number of its parishes. Its boundary has changed little since the earliest records of it. Widford and Cockhamsted were both in Edwinstree Hundred in 1086, but assess- ments of the 14th century show that Widford had been transferred to Braughing before that date,1 whilst Cockhamsted does not later appear to have had any separate entity either civil or ecclesiastic, but to have been included in the parish of Braughing in this hundred. Besides the vills of the Domesday Survey which correspond with the other civil parishes in the list of 1831,2 there were then also Wickham3 and Eia.* Wick- ham was a separate vill for judicial5 and fiscal purposes as late as the 14th century, but four persons only were assessed under its name for a subsidy in 1307.® Later it was included in Bishop's Stortford. Eia must have lain not far from Wickham, for it seems to have been originally included in the same assessment (see below), but no further mention of it has been found, and there seems to be no survival of the name. Gilston is not mentioned in the Domesday Survey, and seems to have been then included in Sawbridgeworth. Thundridge, although assessed by itself in 1086/ does not seem to have had any. 1 See Subs.
