The parish of [[Rimpton]] was added to the hundred in about 1735,<ref>{{cite web|title=Horethorne Hundred|url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=18738|work=A History of the County of Somerset: Volume 7: Bruton, Horethorne and Norton Ferris Hundreds (1999), pp. 72-74.|publisher=British History Online|accessdate=2012-01-04}}</ref> although it was some distance from the rest of the hundred.

Much of the Hundred fell into the great manor of Taunton Deane, which was the property of the Bishop of Winchester. The manor was divided into three separate organisational divisions; the borough of Taunton, the outlying rural parishes which was known as the Liberty or Outfaring and an inner ring lying between the borough and the rural parishes known as the Infaring.<ref>{{cite web|last=Shorrocks|first=Derek|title=A Guide to Tracing the History of Your House in the Somerset Record Office|url=http://www1.somerset.gov.uk/archives/guides/house.htm|publisher=Somerset Council|accessdate=21 October 2011}}</ref>
