Hasted C1780 A digital composite of the 3 sectional parts. The divisions reflect ancient administrative regions. The boundaries do little to follow geographic or topographic features. They date from very early times and were probably fuedal or for taxation purposes rather than for political or voting issues. The Parish of Pembury is spread over three of these 'hundred's or ancient boroughs. The county of Kent was initially divided into 4 'Lathes'. Each Lathe was further divided into 'Hundreds'. These were later replaced and re-fashioned into Boroughs by the Victorians.
