HQ of Newport Hundred at Gayhurst

Really? Surely it was Newport Pagnell. Citation please. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 16:16, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A subsequent edit now says that the court leet of Buckingham Hundred was held a Gayhurst (and NP). Surely this is an error! --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 16:26, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Name of this article

Why is this article not called Newport Hundred (Buckinghamshire)? VCH uses the term 'Newport Hundred' (and Winslow Hundred, Buckingham Hundred, etc etc) and this is the style widely used in history and archaeology books. Why invent a different notation? If it is to disambiguate 'Newport', then I suggest that it is a false prospectus. AFIK, the Hundreds are always given as a word pair: 'X Hundred', 'Y Hundred', never as simply X and Y. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 16:21, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The standard naming that has developed for hundreds is just name where possible i.e. Ossulstone. This follows the normal WP naming guidelines for places. Where this is not possible Elthorne (hundred) is used. If there have been more than one hundred with the same name in different counties Blackheath, Kent (hundred) / Blackheath, Surrey (hundred) is used.

As for the underlying convention, Hundred of X format is often just as common in sources as X Hundred, so I can understand why the neutral X (hundred) was adopted. MRSC (talk) 16:45, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As in "the three hundreds of Newport". Touché. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 16:48, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
