Newport Hundred

Until at least the time of the Domesday Survey in 1086 there were 18 hundreds in Buckinghamshire.[4] Newport became the name of the hundred formed from the combined 11th century hundreds of Bonestou, Moulsoe and Sigelai;[3] these original names still persisted in official records until at least the early part of the 17th century.[citation needed] The court leet and "three weeks court" for Newport Hundred were usually held at Bunsty (now part of Gayhurst); in 1830 they also took place at the Swan Inn in Newport Pagnell.[3] Traces of the moot hill of Sigelai Hundred were discovered by archaeologists working for Milton Keynes Development Corporation, during the construction of Central Milton Keynes;[5] the site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and lies behind the central library.[6] Newport hundred comprised the following ancient parishes and hamlets, (formerly medieval vills), allocated to their respective 11th century hundred:[3]
