Flendish Hundred

Flendish Hundred (more commonly Flendish) was a pre-Norman administrative division of the county of Cambridgeshire, England. It probably got its name from Fleam Dyke. Hundreds were intermediate administrative divisions, larger than villages and smaller than shires, that survived until the 19th century. It was probably created in the early 10th century. Flendish was first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. In the 11th century Flendish hundred contained four vills, later divided into five parishes: Fulbourn, Teversham, Hinton, and Horningsea (today, Fen Ditton and Horningsea).[1]
