context_page_description: Most of the counties of England were divided into hundreds from the late Saxon period and these were, with a few exceptions, effectively abandoned as administrative divisions in the 19th century. in some areas, equivalent districts were known as "wapentakes".
  In Wales a similar Celtic system of division called cantrefi had existed for centuries and was of particular importance in the administration of the Welsh law. Following the Laws in Wales Acts 1535 and 1542, Wales was divided into hundreds to be consistent with England.
context_section_description: Lincolnshire was divided into three Parts, each of which was divided into wapentakes, analogous to hundreds.
