County
Hampshire
30 places in the corpus · 4,771 dated entries · 1234–1470.
Places are grouped by historic county. The county of each place is taken from the printed indexes (which qualify a place as “co. Norfolk”) and the gazetteer, then normalised to the traditional shire.
Shaded: the historic county of Hampshire. Source: Historic County Borders Project (county-borders.co.uk), traditional counties. A proxy for the medieval shire, not a medieval reconstruction.
