Elstub and Everleigh Hundred is in the east of Wiltshire with Kinwardstone Hundred to its north and east, Amesbury Hundred wrapping around it to the south and west, and Swanborough Hundred to its northwest. It is quite a distance north of Salisbury. According to John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72, it covered 37,946 acres and had a population of 6,328 inhabiting 1,309 houses. (Source: A Vision of Britain through Time) Elstub and Everleigh Hundred has two detached portions: Little Hinton which is near Swindon and now in Swindon unitary authority, and the parish of Overton which became West Overton in 1866. Overton was located in the midst of Selkley Hundred. To place the hundred within the county, see Map of the Hundreds of Wiltshire, 1832, a map from HMSO Boundary Commissioners, dated 1832, also provided by A Vision of Britain through Time.
