The places given in Woking Hundred at the time of the great Survey differ somewhat from the above list. In Domesday Book, Ockley and Lodesorde (which has been identified with Lodsworth in Sussex), find a place in the list, while Worplesdon, with its members of Wyke and Burgham, is classed in Wotton ; s but the difference is probably only due to an error in tran- scription. In the time of the Confessor the hundred was worth 88 IQJ., and by 1086 its assessment had risen to 125 los. ; the actual payment, however, in some cases exceeded the assessment. 8 The sum contributed by the hundred to a 14th-century aid amounted to 45 i6s. 6JC J 5 2S - 9%d. In 1636 the taxable value of the hundred was 297 2s. 8</. 6

The descent of the hundred followed that of Blackheath Hundred, q.v.

The Hundred Court was held at Harmeshatch, 6 later called Harmesheath, near the borders of Ockham and Cobham parishes, on the verge of the hundred, as in the case of the court of Blackheath, q.v.
