North Tawton and Winkleigh Hundred was the name of one of thirty-two ancient administrative units of Devon, England. Until the 18th century, Winkleigh was a separate hundred but in the nineteenth century it joined part of North Tawton and the hundred became known as North Tawton and Winkleigh. It is #19 on the map.
A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of North Tawton and Winkleigh Hundred from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1871-72:
- "TAWTON (North), a village, a parish, a [registration] sub-district, and a hundred, in Devon....The hundred contains 20 parishes, and is called North Tawton and Winkleigh. Acres: 68,533. Population: 12,666. Houses: 2,624."
GENUKI provides a longer description from White's History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Devonshire of 1850.
