Talk:Wilmington, Somerset

use of Hundred

Wilmington can't be in the "hundred of Keynsham" as Hundreds no longer exist. I suspect it is in Bath and North East Somerset.— Rod ^talk 19:25, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about my reverting edits, I made a mistake! Anyway, I've looked at the Hundred of Keynsham and although they don't longer exist, would it still be notable for mentioning in the article even if it was? Jaguar (talk) 09:18, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comment - that one was fixed a while ago to include the current parish & say it was previously in the hundred...— Rod ^talk 09:32, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pembrokeshire Hundreds all have articles (e.g. Dewisland (hundred), might be worth creating articles for some of List of hundreds of England and Wales#Somerset.--Pontificalibus (talk) 09:59, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I already started them all for Hampshire a long time ago, but I will create more Hundreds when I get the energy! Jaguar (talk) 10:14, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've added them as requested articles on the to do list of Wikipedia:WikiProject Somerset - might take a while though.— Rod ^talk 10:31, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, red links. I'll turn them blue in no time. There are examples on how to make Hundreds I have already made, for example see Odiham Hundred. A brief lead should explain the hundred (like what monarch owned the manors) and then a list of villages/towns that were included in the Hundred. Pictures can easily be found on the British History website and since they are well over 70 years old, it won't be that hard using them in the articles.
