This Hundred forms the south extremity of the county, and is bounded on the north and west by the river Trent, on the south and east by Leicestershire, having at the south-east extremity a considerable portion detached and completely surrounded by Leicestershire, where No Man’s Heath, in the chapelry of Chilcote, connects the four counties of Leicester, Derby, Stafford and Warwick. It consists 65,677 statue acres, generally a rich red loamy soil, considered the finest agricultural district in the county.

 

The following table is an enumeration of its 27 parishes, showing their territorial extent, the annual value, and their population from 1801 to 1851, as returned at the five decennial periods of the parliamentary census.

 

* The letters after the names signify P for Parish, C for Chapelry, and T for Township.
