Notes:

Edward Hasted says "Part of [the parish of Newenden] is in the hundred of Selbrittenden, the rest of it, called The Township Of Newenden, is exempt from any hundred, having an officer of its own, called the bailiff, whose power is much the same here as that of high constable in other parts of the county, and is appointed merely to prevent this district merging into the jurisdiction of the hundred" (The History and Topographical Survey of the County of Kent: Volume 7 (1797), pp.163-72; http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=63405, accessed 13th July 2013. Newenden township was a separate jurisdiction from all hundreds by 1285 (Idem., Volume 1, pp. 250-60; http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=53770, accessed: 18th March 2013).
