The Hundreds of Gloucestershire, as with hundreds in other English counties, were the original geographic divisions of the county for administrative, military and judicial purposes. Each hundred covered a number of parishes. The introduction of civil registration in 1837 was accompanied by the creation of other groups of parishes such as Sanitary Districts and Poor Law Unions.

A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Crownthorne and Minety Hundred from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:

"CROWTHORN, a hundred in Gloucester; around Cirencester, and contiguous to Wilts. It contains eighteen parishes and part of another. Acres: 32,612. Population: 6,259. Houses: 1,392."

The village of Minety is located in Wiltshire.
