This was one of three earlier hundreds combined during C12th to form the 'sipesocha' of Knightlow, replaced by term 'hundred' at beginning of C13. However, the earlier hundreds continued to function as "leets" until end of C16. "Leet" implies some kind of unknown jurisdiction, but there is no evidence of extra courts.
