TheHundred of Wotton,Wotton Hundred orDorking Hundred was ahundred inSurrey,England.
The hundred comprised a south-central portion of the county, clockwise the parishes ofAbinger,Wotton,Dorking,Capel andOckley.
The area's owner initially had pecuniary rights (to incomes) over parts of parishes on the borders of the area and just beyond, from just north ofGuildford toSussex. The site of theHundred Court is indicated in the later medieval records as Dorking, hence its latter alternative name.[1]
What vestiges of rights to minor rents and other such rights in the hundred still remained in the 17th century were granted to Sir Edward Zouche in 1620 byJames I, and later passed to theEarls of Onslow, heirs to the estates of theEarls of Surrey.[1]
