[edit]

I'm not entirely sure whether this use of brackets for these hundreds is correct. Treatment seems to vary between appending (hundred) to the name or including it in the title - eg Babergh_Hundred.

Is this technically a disambiguation, which is what brackets are for? Braughing is both a hundred and a parish/village but I don't imagine you would ever refer to the hundred as "Braughing" on its own.

Any ideas? AndrewRT(Talk) 14:06, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. My advice is to go by the convention seen in the hundreds listed at Hundreds of Suffolk and List of hundreds of England and Wales, which is to use "Placename Hundred". You could just boldly move the page to that title. How many other hundreds are similar? I see Meonstoke (hundred) (with the rest of Hampshire), Danais (hundred) and Tring (hundred) in Hertfordshire, Hurstingstone (hundred), Holmstrow (hundred), Munslow (hundred) (and the rest of Shropshire), and Hinckford (hundred). I think that's all, unless I erred in my search. It's not that many, I think. The other thing to consider is how the soures format the title, if they are consistent one way or the other, but the one link I clicked would support the move. – Anon423 (talk) 15:12, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
