History

Until at least the time of the Domesday Survey in 1086 there were 18 hundreds in Buckinghamshire.

Aylesbury became the name of the hundred formed from the combined 11th century hundreds of Aylesbury, Risborough and Stone although these original names still persisted in official records until at least the early part of the 17th century. The court leet for Aylesbury hundred was located at Aylesbury.
