Taunton Deane Hundred
The Hundred of Taunton Deane is one of the hundreds in Somerset, dating from before the Norman conquest.
The Hundred consists of the town of Taunton and the ancient parishes of:
The parish of Rimpton was added to the hundred in about 1735,[1] 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.[2]
