Essex is divided into 19 hundreds, and in addition are the Liberty of Havering-atte-Bower (within the Beacontree Hundred) and the ancient boroughs of Colchester (locally in Lexden Hundred), Harwich (locally in Tendring Hundred), and Maldon (locally within Dengie Hundred). (map) In former days each hundred had a hundred moot which met each month to rule on local judicial and taxation matters, though the moot's functions withered in the Middle Ages.
The Domesday Book of 1086 lists nineteen hundreds, corresponding very closely in extent and in name with those of today. The additional half-hundred of Thunreslan on the border with Suffolk border is no longer known, and the hundred of Witbrictesherna was renamed Dengie.
The Royal Liberty of Havering-atte-Bower is locally situate in Becontree Hundred.[1]
