For a definition of "wapentake", see the article entitled Hundred (county division) in Wikipedia.
Wapentakes, the Old Norse form of the Anglo-Saxon "hundred", are dealt with in Section 1.4, but Sections 1.1 (Hundred courts) and 1.2 (Administrative functions) deal with the concept and purposes of wapentakes along with those of "hundreds" used in English counties further south.

Agbrigg and Morley (#6 and #11 on map) was a wapentake (or hundred) of the West Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is located near Wakefield and Huddersfield on the west side of the county. It was split into two divisions and in the mid-nineteenth century Agbrigg and Morley became separate wapentakes.
