Codsheath Hundred

Codsheath was a hundred, a historical land division, in the county of Kent, England.[5][8] The Hundred of Codsheath was included in the Domesday Book of 1086, that records it as having 203 houses, 44 in Sundridge and 159 in Otford.Several watermills were constructed on the river within the hundred, in the villages of Sundridge, Otford, Shoreham and Chevening.[2] Codsheath, like the other hundreds in Kent, became less significant gradually over time, and although never formally abolished, it was obsolete by 1894 with the creation of new districts.[14][15] In 1797 the parish churches of Shoreham, Halstead, Otford, Kemsing, Seal, Sevenoaks, Chevening, Sundridge and Woodland in Kingsdown were recorded as belonging to the Codsheath Hundred[6] and the churches of Leigh and Speldhurst to the Somerden Hundred to the south.
