Newport Hundred

Until at least the time of the Domesday Survey in 1086 there were 18 hundreds in Buckinghamshire. It has been suggested however that neighbouring hundreds had already become more closely associated in the 11th century so that by the end of the 14th century the original or ancient hundreds had been consolidated into 8 larger hundreds. Newport became the name of the hundred formed from the combined 11th century hundreds of Bonestou, Moulsoe and Sigelai; the site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and lies behind the central library. ==Parishes and hamlets ==
