Crowthorne and Minety
Crowthorne and Minety is a hundred of Gloucestershire, in the south of the county, adjacent to the border with Wiltshire. Indeed, Minety itself forms a detached part in that county. It is bounded by Brightwells Barrow hundred to the east; by Wiltshire to the south; by Longtree Hundred to the south-west; by Bisley Hundred to the north-west; and by Rapsgate Hundred to the north.
