[edit] Reigate Hundred

I'm a little bit worried by the addition of "The village lay within the Reigate hundred, an Anglo-Saxon administrative division." as it appears to contridict the later "No mention is made of Horley in the Domesday Book and it is thought to have been included in the northern manor returns". I've tagged it for now in the hope that someone can clarify this, but may to make a manual edit if no-one can help in the next few days. Many thanks to anyone who can help. 193.128.2.2 11:23, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

I put some references in which show where the details come from. The fact that it is not mentioned in the Domesday book does not actually mean it is not there. Having recently gone through all the Surrey details of the village in the Domesday book there are errors. Additionally it may quite well have been included with another hundred ie Tandridge hundred if you look at the British History online reference - this makes is even more contradictory. I've left the contradict note and will investigate further. SuzanneKn 17:45, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. I didn't want to arbitarily take out your addition and also take out the reference to the Domesday Book. (I’m well aware of people being in Horley long before that was compiled). Good luck with anything you can dig up. 193.128.2.2 08:55, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

After a week of the 'contradict' tag I've taken out Suzanne's reference to the "Reigate Hundred" and the original Domesday Book assertion - simply on the grounds that the tag made the page looked ugly. If anyone has any further insight or can clarify please add. Is it worth leaving the Reigate Hundred info in and the the Domesday Book reference out? Anyone? 193.128.2.2 10:31, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
