A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Willybrook Hundred from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
"WILLYBROOK, a river and a hundred in the NE of Northampton[shire]. The river rises near Rockingham; runs 10 miles north-eastward to Kingscliffe; and goes thence 5 miles south-south-eastward to the Nen, near Fotheringhay. The hundred contains 14 parishes. Acres: 27,490. Population: 6,995. Houses: 1,476."

Willybrook Hundred is an area that is now at the northeast end of Northamptonshire since Nassaborough Hundred (later known as the Soke of Peterborough) is no longer part of the county. It is located between the Hundreds of Navisford on the east and Corby and Polebrook on the west and southwest.

  • Willybrook Hundred is not covered by the Victoria County History of Northamptonshire.
