Woking was ahundred in what is nowSurrey, England. It includes the town ofWoking and theBorough of Woking.
The Hundred comprised the parishes of:Ash,East Clandon,West Clandon,East Horsley,West Horsley,Merrow,Ockham,Pirbright,Send andRipley,Stoke Juxta Guildford,Wanborough,Windlesham,Wisley,Woking andWorplesdon.[1]
Minor clerical errors and convenience groupings of other parishes have occurred in some medieval centrally held records at Lambeth and Westminster Palaces for example.[2]
In the time ofEdward the Confessor, the Hundred was worth £88; by theDomesday Book of 1086 it was worth £125. By 1696, it was worth £297 for taxation purposes ('taxable value') but being a Hundred had no single owner as such; as the rights of the hundreds became divided and lessened, it became purely a useful way of grouping theparishes below the level of the counties.[2]
